Reading Requirement

To encourage our students to explore the many diverse genres in literature, we have instituted a school-wide reading requirement. The details of this may be found on the school website, www.palmerton.org.  Under the drop-down menu, click on S. S. Palmer, scroll down to the Reading Requirement link, click, and you are there! You may read the parent letter and/or download and print the form for each book read.

This year, students are required to complete 10 book reports. Forms are available in the classroom. Reports include:

2 fiction

2 non-fiction

2 biography 

4 choice 

Book-It Reading Incentive

Our fourth grade incentive program, Book-It, is optional. However, if your child completes the required monthly reading and fills out the Book-It form, he/she will receive a coupon for Pizza Hut. Even better, your child will begin to develop a lifelong love of reading!
