Read Across America

Just some info on our reading program this year. We are doing something called Read Across America. Basically your child has a map of the US and each state is a different book genre, type of reading, or books by certain authors. Students need to be reading at least 20 minutes every night and writing down what they are reading on their reading log. They need to always fill in the dates column and all other columns when the are reading a new book. Reading logs are due every Friday and I check that they have read the required minutes and a parent has initialed. Students should be reading a book for one state at a time. Only reading completed at home for homework counts toward weekly reading assignment. Students can also write down their biography book and the Chains book from Social Studies on their log and count it toward a state covering those genres, just initial that you know that they have read them. If you have any questions, please email me at school.
Thanks,
Mrs. K
