                                 Books of the Month 

The Book of the Month is facilitated as a school wide reading activity. Each day of the month, passages of the selected book are read orally and discussed in each homeroom. This activity provides yet another opportunity for students to develop an interest in leisure time reading.  We encourage our parents to demonstrate an interest in reading by participating in the Book of the Month reading  activities for parents.   

                                                                                                                                          

                                                              

                                    25 Book Campaign

Every student in Cottage Grove Upper Grade Center is expected to participate in the 25 Book Campaign.  It helps create a culture of reading and the more students read the better they become at it.  Students should know their reading level as determined by ITBS.  Each student should be made aware of their scores at the beginning of the year and this score should be written in their Source Notebook/Folder.  This will allow them to select books at their individual reading level.
