Students are required to do nightly reading and some sustained silent reading in the classroom. For these assigned reading times, students are asked to choose quality literature. I ask that all reading selections be made from Library recommended sources--Newbery and other award winning books are preferable. Please check out the sources below if you need help with possible reading selections.
