Take Home Reading Books

Please look around your house for any reading books that may be around your house. I am starting to collect and return books. I will be testing students the next couple of weeks to see what reading level they are on. The reading level will be printed on the final report card.

Please make sure that you keep all paper-copied books at home. They are yours to keep. Read them over the summer or give them to a younger sibling!
