25 Book Reading Program
Learning Standard 2, established by the State of New York Board of Regents, requires that students read a minimum of 25 books per school year. Accordingly, all teachers are required by our school district to file a reading log in each student’s permanent English Language Arts file in June listing the books read during the school year. Parents can help.
