To clear up any confusion about the Book It program that the school and our class participates in:

1.  Students are required to read for 20 minutes every night, including weekends.

2.  If schedules do not permit the child to read 20 minutes one night, he/she needs to read more another night to make up for it so he/she can color in the item on the calendar. 

3.  Since I do not have students complete reading logs in my class, the activity that is on the back or attached to the calendar needs to be completed so I can learn a little bit more about the types of books the child is reading.  If they read a long chapter book and do not finish it, then stating so for say the conclusion/solution of the story on the story map needs to explain they are still reading the book.

4.  If the child loses the Book It calendar they need to make their own and keep track of their reading for the month.

5.  A completed calendar ready to be turned in should be completed colored and the story activity completed as well.  Book It calendar/activity is due within the first week of the following month so Oct. is due by Nov. 6th; Nov. due by Dec. 4; Dec. due by Jan. 8th; Jan. due by Feb. 5th; Feb. due by March 5th; and March due by April 9th.
