Students are expected to be reading a novel/chapter book on a daily basis. The students are aware that they should be reading for approximately 40 minutes every night (this includes weekends, as well). The students are given class time to read and are able to read during AM and PM homeroom. It is imperative that the students promptly arrive at school every day, because they will miss out on this valuable learning time. Every classroom has a library for the students to borrow books from. There are also book fairs held occasionally throughout the school year. Students are encouraged to always have a book ready to begin once they finish. I have given each student a "log" to record what they read and for the designated amount of time. The students are aware that I will be checking this sporadically as a homework assignment.
