This year in reading, students will be exposed to many types of literature.
They begin the year by reading a fantasy novel entitled, Top Secret by John
Reynolds Gardiner. Students will also read survival, historical fiction,
realistic fiction novels and tall tales. In addition, we will study poetry,
plays, short stories and nonfiction.
Help Opportunities:
I am available for extra help afterschool, flex periods and lunch time.
Studetns are asked to arrange a time for extra support when they are
struggling within a topic.
Homework:
Students should expect to read fifteen minutes each night and fill in a
reading calendar. Reading calendars are due on the first of the month and
need to be signed by a parent. Completion of the reading calendar will be
used when calculating reading averages each quarter. When students have
reading homework from a class novel, this may count towards their 15 minutes
of reading at home.
