6 Week Book Reports

General Info

Every six weeks, students will be responsible for turning in a book report. Book reports promote literacy and strengthen skills in reading comprehension, reading fluency, and writing. All books selected for book reports must be approved by the teacher. Students will be given time to read their book report books in class during reading. Book reports will be completed at home, although students may occasionally be given time to work on book reports in class. Grades for book reports will be listed under Language Arts: Writing.
