Book Reports

    *Book Reports - Students will need to read one book at their reading level every month. This can also be their AR or BA book for the month. By the end of the month, students will do a “Book Chat” about the book. During the “Book Chat,” students will share the project that they completed about the book as well as tell a little about the book. Students should choose a different type of project each month. Please see attached sheet with project ideas. This should be completed at home. Students should choose a book from the genre assigned to each specific month(s).

Quizzes can be taken at home. Students need to read at least 1 book per month. Students have user names and passwords.
