Independent Reading: Research shows that independent reading is crucial in the areas of language acquisition, reading comprehension, and the development of lifelong reading habits. In order to align with the Common Core standards Initiative, the following independent reading requirements have been put in place: Each student is responsible for independently reading at least three books (fiction or nonfiction) or 30 periodical articles or an equivalent combination of the two choices per quarter. The material must be at or above grade level, chosen by the student, and approved by the instructor. Most Fridays students will be 30-40 minutes of class time to read independently. The remainder of independent reading must occur within the student’s free time. Independent reading accounts for 20% of the ELA grade. Students must track their independent reading progress in a reading log which will be checked by the instructor each Friday. Upon the completion of each selected book or article, a student must complete the related assignment which can be found on the counter at the back of the ELA room. Each grade/class will have a group experience of independent reading -one title per year- forming a Book Club to enhance areas of comprehension, writing, speaking and listening.
