TO: PARENT/GUARDIAN OF GATE STUDENTS IN FIRST AND
SECOND GRADES:
RE: Required outside reading
assignment for CHALLENGE AND TALENT DEVELOPMENT students during fall semester 2016.
The goals of
the outside reading assignment are to encourage students to read a variety of
books, to develop responsibility, to practice time management skills, and to
aid the student in being an active participant in the school’s Accelerated
Reading Program.
GATE student
must read at least 10 books and complete
one written and orally presented book report this semester.
The students
are to keep a record of the books they read by recording them on the READING LOG FORM.
The Reading Log Form is attached.
The Reading Log may be turned in before the due date but it will not be
accepted after the deadline, DECEMBER
_________2016.
The student
may choose among the attached list of book report presentation ideas. I know they will do an excellent job with
their report.
Their written/oral book report presentation is
due:
BOOK REPORT/ PRESENTATION DUE: September __________, 2016
I need your
support to encourage your child to read nightly. Please help your child keep up with recording
the books they read on the provided Reading Log as the books are read. I need an adult to sign each entry to
indicate your supervision. If a child
reads a book for their homeroom teacher it may be included on this Reading Log
also. I know the students can plan their
reading time and meet these expectations.
REQUIRED READING LOG IS DUE BY DECEMBER
_____________2016
The Reading Log may be turned in early but it will not be
accepted after the due date.
Please sign and return
the slip below to let me know that you are aware of this long-range reading
assignment and the required book report this semester.
