Homework: Research has repeatedly shown that the more a student reads at home, the more the student will grow as a reader and a learner. Therefore students are required to:  
        • Read for a minimum of 30 minutes, five nights every week.  
  • Read anything you want generally within your lexile range.
      •  
  • When students are finished with a book, they should take an Accelerated Reader quiz on their book, to check their comprehension of what they read. Students should have at least three independent reading books complete each quarter that they have passed an AR quiz on (70% or above).
