Students are assigned four On Target reading assignments per marking period. Each assignment involves reading the book and completing a response. For On Target assignments 5 and on, we have moved to incremential assignments. Therefore, students will have at least one part of an On Target due each week. Please ask your student about these assignments.
On Target assignments vary by class, but all students are expected to be reading each night for at least 20 minutes. Here is a list of the current assignments that are due through the end of the year. Some of the selections have superb online resources. To access these additional resources, scroll to the title of the book under the section, "More."
