LCCTC Encourages Students to Read This Summer!

Would you like to enter English or CP English class with a few bonus points? Use this link and join our summer reading bonus class: https://newsela.com/quickjoin/#/PM4TW5  If you're already a Newsela user, just use this class code:  PM4TW5

How to start?

1. Either click on LIBRARY and select your favorite topic OR type in a key word (like DOG or CAR) and find an article that interests you. You can also join the Newsela Summer Reading program in addition to our summer reading bonus class, if you wish.

2. Begin reading. If the words/phrases seem to easy or too hard, change the Lexile level in the blue numbers at the right of the page if you're on a computer or if you're using a mobile app, change the level at the bottom: https://newsela.com/mobile/

3. Take the quiz (and get at least a 3/4.) If you score less, try to focus more next time, or re-read the article on a lower level and retake the quiz. If you score 100%, consider moving your Lexile level to challenge yourself.

4. Your goal -- read at least 2 articles per week this summer; can you read more? Of course! Just try to spread out your reading over time because avoiding cramming will actually help you develop as a reader.

Happy reading!!!
