6A LITERATURE INFORMATION SSR Book: Students are required to
have an SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) book with them at all
times in every class. This book can be any book chosen by the
student, and does not have to be from the 6th grade book list.
Students need to have this book with then at all times in case
students have any free time after a test or at the end of a
lesson. Students who do not have an SSR book are considered
unprepared for class. Students are expected to read
independently and complete mini-projects on the books that they
read throughout the school year. Sixth grade students are
required to read at least 18 books in the 2011-2012 school year.
An explanation of the 18 Book Standard will occur in the first
week of school in the reading class of all students.
