“7TH GRADE INDEPENDENT READING”
Reading Logs:
We are still working out the logistic but here is what you need to know…..
There is not enough time in our classes to have you read 20 minutes a day, however, we know that kids who read 20 minutes a day outside of class are FAR, FAR more likely to be successful in life than those who read 5 minutes a day or not at all.
INDEPENDENT READING: When you read a book which you have chosen.
In 7th grade your INDEPENDENT READING BOOKS will need to meet certain requirements:• must be in paragraph form….graphic novels will not be
counted
• must meet a certain reading level…..children’s books won’t
be counted
• must be a book…..magazines and websites will not be
counted.
• You cannot use a book you have read in the past.
In 7th grade you will be expected to spend an
average of 20 minutes a day in
INDEPENDENT READING.
ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT INDEPENDENT READING?
LIBRARY BEHAVIOR
• THERE ARE IMPORTANT REASONS WHY THOSE USING A LIBRARY SHOULD BE QUIET.
•ORIGINALLY A PERSON DID NOT CHECK OUT A BOOK, BUT STAYED IN THE LIBRARY TO READ OR STUDY IT. THIS IS STILL TRUE IN THE SPECIAL BOOKS SECTION OF MOST COLLEGE OR MAJOR LIBRARIES.
HYPERLINK TO Oreo
IN “HARRY POTTER” AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE RESTRICTED SECTION OF THE LIBRARY.

HYPERLINK LIBRARY OREO
A MAJOR FUNCTION OF A LIBARY IS TO PROVIDE A QUIET
PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO READ AND STUDY.
TEAM DISCOVERY LIBRARY BEHAVIOR
•BRING YOUR ID CARD – IT MAKES CHECKING OUT BOOKS SO MUCH FASTER.
•IN THE LIBRARY YOU SHOULD NEVER SPEAK ABOVE A WHISPER.
•IF YOU HAVE A BOOK TO RETURN DO THAT FIRST.
•IF YOU HAVE A BOOK YOU ARE READING, SIT DOWN AS SOON AS WE GET THERE AND
READ SILENTLY.
•SIT AT THE TABLES CLOSEST TO THE CHECKOUT DESK, DON’T GO SIT IN THE FAR
CORNER, HOPING I WON’T HEAR OR NOTICE YOU. THAT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO CATCH
MY ATTENTION.
•DO NOT VISIT OR HIDE IN THE STACKS. FIND A BOOK, CHECK IT OUT AND SIT DOWN
TO READ.
•IF YOU HAVE FINES, PAY THEM SO YOU CAN USE THE LIBRARY.
•IF YOU CAN’T MEET THE BEHAVIOR REQUIREMENTS, I WILL HAVE TO LIMIT OUR USE OF THE
LIBRARY.
The Lowell Scott Library is too small, but it is all we have so we make it work.
There are often 2 to 3 classes in the LSMS library at the same time and not everyone
understands or follows these rules….
Lucky for you, my mom was a librarian.
