Reading for Understanding.... Focus: Making Connections

Today marks the beginning of: Reading Comprehension Wednesdays. Students will be introduced to literature circles that will reflect on books that they have chosen to read. Every week, the students will have the chance to read on their own and/or with their teacher. Afterwards, they will pick two different jobs from the literature circle and submit their answers to their teacher electronically.
