Prepare to check out three library books, sometimes they'll have a requirement to check out at least one book of a specific genre

Read at least 80 minutes weekly, being sure that a minimum of one Accelerated Reader book is successfully read at the appropriate grade level. At least 70% must be acheived on the AR test.
