Reading Response Questions 1st semester

Home Reading Response Questions

All students are required to read at least 30 minutes each night. AFTER reading, they are to answer the assigned reading response question. Each entry should be dated. The title and author must be written along with beginning and ending pages for the nightly reading. The student should then copy the assigned question. After all of this is entered, the question must be answered in at least 3 complete sentences. Parents then need to sign the completed reading response.

**If the above information is not written each night, or if the answer is less than 3 complete sentences, the reading response will not be graded for that day.**
