their reading log book for the year.

log books must come to school every Monday in order to set the book
up for the week. Must be returned to school every Friday for

Reading Log Books What do I do with the reading log book during
the week? We recommend you encourage your child to develop good
organisational skills and have one central location for the log
book. (e.g.: Keeping it in their Home Communication Bag ensures it
never gets lost and comes to school each day as part of their daily
routine).

Reading Expectations What are the reading expectations of
children in the middle school? Reading at least 20 minutes every
day. 4 nights (Monday Thursday) of reading recorded on the weekly
log sheet. Extra reading is not required but is certainly
encouraged.

to complete one reading response piece for one of the texts they
are reading. This response piece can be done on any of the texts
read throughout the week. The reading response piece must be
