As I review the assignments students submitted for their first card-marking period’s sustained silent reading novel, I would like to offer the following links to help students with some trends I have been noticing.
As always, these areas for growth will be addressed also in class, but in the interim, I invite you to make use of the links above to take an active role in your learning.

Students should be reading every night!
