September Reading Calendar

Book Project: Sandwich Book Project (Directions are being sent home on September 1, 2010)  Project is due: September 30, 2010 

Genre:  Realistic Fiction

Students will read a realistic fiction book that they have not read before.  They should choose a "just right" book.  Be sure to use the "Rule of Thumb" to determine if the book is too difficult for your child. (Have your child read a page in the novel.  If the student cannot read 5 words or more on the page, then the book is too challenging for him/her and he/she should select a different book.)

A list of suggested titles will be sent home but other realistic fiction books can be read for the September Book Project. 

Always check your planner for the final update on any homework.
