Welcome to Ms. Rigney's Lit Studies Class!
Independent Reading for the Year: Since students who read more on their own improve the most in reading, I will be encouraging all students to strive for a class reading goal this year. The goal is for each student to read 2 books per month. This means that students will read about 18 books for the year! If a book is more that 300 pages, it also can count as 2 books. I encourage students to read books at their level and enjoy the reading process this year!
