Book Conferences

Students are required to a do a minimum of one book report per month. Due dates of book conferences are reported in the What’s Happening letter each Friday. To complete a conference students must read a book, fill out the necessary forms, and complete an oral conference with an adult.

The students may select any type of novel they wish. Books that are other than fiction or less than 100 pages long need to be approved by me before use as a book conference book. They are required to read books that are challenging to their individual reading level. I encourage them to select a variety of genres by different authors but do not require them to use a reading wheel. I realize that some children like to read book series and books by a favorite author, which are often of the same genre.
