Once per month they will orally report a chosen book to the teacher. Parents are requested to sign their child’s reading folder every week.

Students need to return the book every Tuesday to switch for a new book.

Objectives:

• to build up students’ reading habits and interests;

• to expose students to a wider variety of written texts;

• to enhance students’ fluency through reading familiar texts.
