Reading Assignments and Book Responses for LA

Reading Assignments for Language Arts - 2013-2014

 

You are required to read three AR books per marking period and take AR Tests on all of them. The Books must be near your level of reading.  The AR Test will be a grade that you earn for LA. Three books, 100 points each = 300 points for your LA Grade per marking period so it is very important that you read for 30 minutes each night and keep taking AR tests.
