Reading Requirements        
In addition to the reading text and core literature, every student will be required
to complete independent reading. Students are encouraged to read books within their AR level as determined by the STAR test. The corresponding AR test must be taken and passed at 70% or higher.    Here's a site that has some great book recommendations  and another for 5th graders.

Accelerated Reader
​1st trimester -   2 books 
2nd trimester – 3 books 
3rd trimester  – 3 books

Students will complete the required amount of reading at their individual reading level as determined by the STAR test.  The corresponding AR test must be taken and passed at 70% or higher. If a vocabulary test is available, students must also take the vocabulary test.
