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!
