You must have a book to read every day during Block II, no matter 
what class you have that block.

You must read at least three, one-hundred page books per nine weeks
and log the books on your reading log. Your parent or guardian must 
sign off on each book you read. The book MUST be at your reading 
level (or higher)  according to the Gates-MacGinitie test.

From October until March, all sixth graders will participate in the 
BookIt! program. When you read one books per month as part of the 
five books, and you have them signed on your Reading Log, you will 
receive an A and free pizza. The students who read the greatest 
number of books among the three sixth-grade standard language arts 
teachers' classes will win a party in May.

Global Academy seventh-grade  students will participate in READ 100; 
HELP 100, pending Scholastic's contact.
Every time we read 100 books, Scholastic will send 100 books to the 
needy. I will provide a treat for every 100 books we read as a 
class. This should be an easy goal as we have to read 3 books per 
nine weeks multiplied by the number of students in class.

You must meet your Accelerated Reader goal every nine weeks. This 
will be worth ten percent of your nine weeks' grade.



If you are a student with limited funds who believes that reading 
books is one of the best ways to learn and grow, write us a note 
(not an e-mail) telling us a little about yourself and including 
your home address. Also, look through our list of Townsend Library 
and Bluford Books and tell us which three books you would like to 
receive at no charge. Send your note to: 

Book Editor
Townsend Press
1038 Industrial Drive
West Berlin, NJ 08091 

You'll also be sent a free copy of our booklet 60 Good Books to 
Read. 

Global Academy grade six  must purchase the book  I HAVE LIVED A 
THOUSAND 
YEARS. 
Global Academy grade seven must purchase the book MILKWEED.
Bring the book in March.
