I hope that all of you can learn to love to read as much as I do! The best way to improve your reading skills is to practice! I encourage all of you to
Read Widely and Wildly
This means read many different types of books and read as much as possible! We have aligned our curriculum with assignments such as Book-It and Six Flags Reading to encourage reading magazines, story books, poetry and nonfiction. I have also linked great websites to my pages.
