Read! Read! Read!

Dear Parents,

It is very important for students to read every night. This will help students improve as readers, make their A.R. goal, and prepare for the CRCT. The test will require students to sit for lengthy periods of time and read long passages. Please read with your child and ask him or her questions about the book.
