~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Independent Reading is a significant part of a sixth grader's development in
Language Arts. This will be our third year for implementing the Wachusett
Regional School District's Literacy Initiative at the Middle School Level. 
Most of our incoming sixth graders will be experienced with Readers' Workshop
and we will continue reading in class, conferring and developing habits of
good readers in our daily classroom experience. 

It is our hope that this program provides all readers with enough choices so
that everyone can find something that they enjoy reading.  As we proceed
through the school year, we will be providing students the opportunity to
experience a variety of genres through independent reading.  Our intention is
to foster the joy of reading and to encourage students to read more than ever
before.

Developing an awareness of what the different genres contain, experiencing
them independently, and learning about ourselves as readers is a true
learning experience.  Students who once hated reading found that they
discovered a real interest in true stories (nonfiction) or a love of
mysteries and adventure novels.  Everyone is different, and in structuring
the program with that in mind, we will learn from each other as well as begin
to define who we are as individual readers.  Have fun with reading!
