Second Grade Book Reports

Book reports are due on the last school day of each month. If the book report is turned in late, it will be docked 1 grade each school day it is late. (Example: Due on Monday and turned in on Wednesday and the starting grade would be A-)

All books for the report books must be at least 30 pages. The reading level needs to be at or above your child’s reading level. I will need to approve all books before they are used for a report. Please encourage your child to choose a variety of books. They might be surprised and find something new they like to read.

The book reports for each month are listed below. All instructions and/or forms for these book reports are in this folder. If you lose the instructions or forms, please let me know, I will get you another copy. If you have any questions about any report, please ask.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lawton
