What Books Should Your Child Read?


The Media Center's commitment is to provide students with engaging text that will encourage them to read daily for 30 minutes at least. It is extremely important that students read independently at their independent reading level. If you do not know what your child's independent reading level is, please talk to your child's teacher. You can also use the strategy below to help your child choose books.
