Welcome to Reading. I am looking forward to an enjoyable and productive year with you. It will not always be easy, but please try to keep in mind:
- THIS IS IMPORTANT
- YOU CAN DO THIS

Become a Reader! |
People are not just naturally “good” or “bad” readers. It takes a certain set of skills and a good deal of practice to feel comfortable and confident in reading. It is never too late to become a “good reader,” and, if you don’t already, you might even learn to love reading (or at least like it). If you find yourself becoming frustrated or bored, do something about it. You're in control of your own reading. Read what you love, and love to read.

Visit the Summer Reading page for information and suggestions for summer reading. Looking for ways to improve your fluency at home and over the summer? There's a page for that! And the strategies page will contain, you guessed it, helpful reading strategies for you to use in your academic reading.
Please take a moment to read the Reading Bill of Rights. I hope it resonates with you as much as it resonates with me.
