    Independent Reading Project - Honors


    Reading is one of the most important skills that we learn and practice
    in life. We read everyday, every minute, almost constantly. Reading
    helps us do many things—we read to gather information, to entertain
    ourselves, to keep in touch with our friends, etc. Independent reading
    (reading selections of our own choosing at our own pace) helps us to
    become more skilled, effective readers as it allows us to practice our
    comprehension and vocabulary skills.

    Independent Reading Project: Due : October 26, 2007 (Friday)

    Task: To read 2 books of your choosing and complete this IRD packet.

    ♦ Your fiction or nonfiction novels must have at least 100 pages OF


    PRINT.
    ♦ Books numbering more than 300 pages may count as 2
    books toward your goal. See me for approval.

    Details:

    o Selected books must have a reading level of 4.0 or higher, OR you


    have gotten approval from me to read a book with an unknown
    reading level or one that is lower than 4.0.

    o Books may be fiction or non-fiction.

    o You must take the AR Test after completing each book you read. In
    order for the book to count toward your IRP goal, you must
    successfully pass the AR test. Turn in your AR test summary prior to
    turning in your IRP.

    o If you choose to read a book that is not part of the AR program, you
    will need to complete an additional assignment for this project. See
    me for more information.

    o As you complete your IRP books, work on your book summaries. Do


    NOT wait to complete all the book summaries at once. Capture your
    ideas while they’re fresh in your mind!
    o Finally, take time to decorate or illustrate your IRP packet cover. Be
    creative, colorful, and neat.

    Good Luck and Good Reading!
