NECESSITES:
READ EVERYTHING
No electronic or digital dictionaries will be allowed. All students must have a dictionary with them in class every day. This is necessary for vocabulary development, as well as spelling.
Each student should also have a book of his or her choice to read when classwork and homework are completed. This must be a chapter book at an appropriate level. Graphic novels, comic books, magazines, etc. are not appropriate. Students are to be reading, not looking at pictures.
