Take Home Reading:
MCPS requires that fifth grade students read 25 books by the end of the
school year outside of school.
Students will be required to read at least 20 minutes each night and record
their reading on a THR log.
The goal is for every student to be reading approximately 3 books per month
to meet the goal of 25 books. After finishing a book, students must complete a brief written
response.
Details about the Take-Home Reading program have been sent home. Please
review this information with your student.
