2 The Importance of Independent Reading Increase successful reading experiences through SMIC teacher and librariansupported, self-selected, voluntary reading. Involve parents and all family members in the holiday/vacation reading experiences. Improve children s access to reading materials and activities, which will encourage them to become lifelong library users. Avoid a Learning Gap!! If SMIC students have the opportunity to listen to, discuss, and read books apart from assigned classroom literature, they will build a priorknowledge platform vital for success. A report from the National Institute of Education (1988) concluded that, the amount of reading done out of school is consistently related to gains in academic achievement. Let us all work together to put more books in the hands of our English track students. Student Poster Art: Laura Brock MIDDLE SCHOOL READING 2

8 Reading Log Quarter One : Quarter Two : Quarter Three: Quarter Four: Guidelines: 1) SMIC students need to carefully consider selecting books that interest them. 2) Please ask teachers to aid you in the selection of texts. Just like any art form, literature is often filled with themes and subject matter that might be viewed as objectionable. 3) SMIC Etrack students are encouraged to complete six reading selections each semester. *** Your teacher might require book reviews or reading logs.
