The partner read means you must read the same book as one to three other students and complete a book report together. There are specific book reports suggested for partner reads.
3. Once you have your book, choose a book report idea. It is best to choose what you will do for a book report before you start the book. This will help you focus on the report as you read through the book. Some book reports require you to complete them while reading the book.
4. Both your book and choice of book report must be approved by the teacher.
