Reading will be a part of a student's ELA grade. Bring your AR book to class.

Books need to be read at a student's level. Currently, use the level from 5th grade. Students will be provided time to visit the Day Creek library monthly to check out a book in their reading level. They can also explore eBooks and audio books and go to a local library (like Victoria Gardens or Archibald).

To find out if a book is considered AR appropriate, use AR Reader Bookfinder.

The reading requirement for Trimester #1 is that students read a minimum of 2 books at their reading level. One must be fiction and one nonfiction. AR tests must be passed with a score of 70% or higher. Trimester #2 will have 2 tests and Trimester #3 will have 2 tests students must take. To complete these requirements, it is suggested that students read for at least 20 min. per night. If a book is finished before the dates listed below, please take the test immediately.

AR Tests:

• Trimester 1: 9/7, 10/19

• Trimester 2: 12/7, 2/8

• Trimester 3: 3/21, 4/25

If tests are not taken by these dates, the student's score will be reported as a 0 in the gradebook until completed.

Our primary focus will be to reinforce what is being taught in Language Arts.

This will be accomplished by reading, discussing, and exploring appropriate literature to build on students' overall understanding and their ability to analyze texts.
