Book Reports
In order for your child to receive the reading circle certificate for third grade, he/she must complete 16 book reports (11 fiction and 5 non fiction). Your child may choose how to complete the book reports: computer test at school (accelerated reading program), written, or orally. There is a list of books that may be read at the public library if he/she chooses to do AR book reports on the computer. To receive credit for an AR book report, your child must receive a 70% or higher on the computer quiz. Written and oral forms are in the classroom. Your child may complete the forms at home or at school. Oral reports will be given on Friday afternoons.
Be sure your child is reading books on his/her reading level for book reports.
I will send home due dates for all the book reports. This will be a guide for you and your child to use for pacing purposes. However, all 16 will be due by the end of the year. The following is a list of the book report due dates:
