Independent+Book+Requirements

=When choosing a book, use the following tips:=


 * = Don't judge a book by its cover... or first chapter. Many times people do not give the book chance and put the book down after reading one page. Read a couple chapters before putting it back on the shelf. ﻿ =
 * =** Make sure the book is at your appropriate reading level. ﻿The book should be challenging, but not too difficult that it becomes frustrating. Additionally, it should not be super easy for you to read. If you are unsure of the appropriateness of the book, run it by Ms. Miller. If Ms. Miller feels the book is at an inappropriate reading level, she will suggest another one for you. **=
 * = Make sure you are actually interested in it. Don't choose a book just to choose one to fill the requirement. It'll make it a lot harder to do the assignments if you have to force yourself to read the book. =
 * = Check to see if the book has at least 150 pages. Books under this page requirement will not be counted towards your eight book goal. =
 * = Be sure to checkout the book. Make sure you filled out the checkout form on the bookshelf before taking the book. This ensures no one has to pay for missing books. Also, these books have been purchased with Ms. Miller's and Ms. Shore's money. Using these books is a privilege! =
