Independent reading is one major component of our ILA class. Students may

E.B. Public Library, Scholastic Book Catalog, bookstore, or from home. 
Students will carry their independent reading book to and from school each 
day in a 2 gallon Zip-loc bag. Students are expected to read for at least 20 
minutes each night and log the books that they read on their Independent 
Reading Sheet.

In class, students participate in Reading Workshop. Reading Workshop consists 
of a 5 to 10 minute lesson a selected topic. Then, students read 
independently for approximately 20 minutes. While students are reading, the

also work with small reading groups. 
Students are expected to write letters based on the unit of study discussed 
in class. The student is expected to apply a reading topic to his/her 
independent reading book. Students will write a three paragraph letter each 
unit:  at the beginning of the unit, mid-way, and upon completion of the 
unit. The letters will be reviewed and feedback will be given. The final 
letter, along with the student's progress and dedication throughout the unit, 
will be graded.
