A great opportunity to get a head start with your reading logs now!

Independent reading is a research proven strategy that increases students reading comprehension as well as test scores.  At Newton every student is required to do independent reading nightly and complete a reading log weekly. As a way to encourage your child to read this summer and to get a head start for the upcoming year, students will be allowed to turn in a maximum of 4 reading logs. They will turn them in to their ELA teacher at the beginning of the school year and will earn credit for four weeks of their choice. The reading logs must be filled out completely and correctly for full credit.  Please encourage your child to read a variety of books, nonfiction and fiction.  

Please review all the attached documents for more information.
