 "ADVENTURE INTO READING "
BOOK REPORTS
Throughout the year students will be required to read a book from each of the assigned reading genres and complete an "ADVENTURE BOOK REPORT. Most students should be choosing books at or above a 4th grade reading level. (Please ask if you are unsure of whether a book is appropriate for you). These book reports must be completed and submitted by the scheduled due dates listed on the Book Report Calendar. If a student needs assistance finding a book, I would be happy to give them some suggestions. Reading improves with every opportunity. It is suggested that students would
benefit from reading at home at least 20 minutes per night. Students will have weekly opportunities for SSR
(sustained silent reading) in the classroom as well. Students are responsible for managing their time and completing
their book reports by the scheduled due dates.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND PRINT OUT THE BOOK REPORTS FORMS AS REQUIRED: (These forms
are also available in the back of the classroom and have been posted here for your convenience at home).
