Be respectful of other readers! 7. Return your book on time. 8. If you lose a book or your book is overdue you must return it or pay for it before you can check out another book or get your report card.

  4. ACCELERATED READER • All students have been STAR tested to find their reading levels so that they can read books which they understand.

  15. ReadingbySamantha Thorn, Age 11 In the land of dragons, in a cool mountain cave, I dance with the elves, who never behave. I've shaken the queen's hand, sat in a giant's pocket. Started a band, and received a golden locket. Back to reality, I take a look, and suddenly realize… I was reading a book!
