Bi-Monthly Book Reports
September 28, 2011
Dear Parents,
This year in fourth grade, students will be completing a book report
every other month. These book reports will be created from a book of their
choice and interest based on each student’s given reading level. We believe
that students not only become more engaged in books of their interest but
also acquire and maintain their love for reading!
It is very important to us that our students are reading daily. After
finishing their “bi-monthly books”, the fourth grade students will then
complete an assigned post reading book project pertaining to their book.
Each book report will be different every other month. These
projects/reports are discussed with the students at the beginning of each
month and due at the end of each “reading month”. Each due date for each
book report will be written on your child’s report information sheet, once
they receive it. When the projects are discussed, example projects are
shown to the students emphasizing expectations. Projects are then graded
and incorporated into their reading grade average. Each project is new and
exciting!
Students may read a chosen book from home, the school library, or
the public library. Some reading time will be given to students at school,
although the majority of their reading will take place at home. Students may
also use their “bi-monthly book report books” for their AR reading and
weekly reading response log assignments. We encourage students to use
materials that they already have at home and discourage the hassle of
running to the store for materials.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you
for your support and guidance in this ongoing effort to promote successful
reading in 4th grade!
Yours in education
&
The love for reading,
