6A LITERATURE INFORMATION
SSR Book: Students are required to have an SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) book with them at all times in every class. This book can be any book chosen by the student, and does not have to be from the 6th grade book list. Students need to have this book with then at all times in case students have any free time after a test or at the end of a lesson. Students who do not have an SSR book are considered unprepared for class.
Students are expected to read independently and complete mini-projects on the books that they read throughout the school year. Sixth grade students are required to read at least 18 books in the 2011-2012 school year. An explanation of the 18 Book Standard will occur in the first week of school in the reading class of all students.
