40 Book Requirement :)

All 6th graders will be required to complete 40 books this school year.  Students must read a minimum amount of books in each genre to complete the requirement.  Sixth graders should begin working towards their 40 book requirement today and continue working towards it all year long.

I will give the students independent reading time EVERY day in class.  Reading at home will be very important as well.  Please encourage your child to read an average of 20 minutes each school night.

Your child will keep track of their 40 book requirement progress in the his/her binder (behind the reading tab).  Please ask your child about the 40 book requirement today!
