Six Pix! 2011-2012
Six Pix is the 6th Grade Reading Program. 6th grade students of the previous year pick their favorite books they have read during their time as an HHP 6th grader. These choices are used to make an awesome selection for the rising 6th graders!
How it works...
- Students must choose AT LEAST 4 of the TOP PICKS to read over the course of the year.
- You must also read one Nonfiction book of choice and one Biography of choice.
- (That makes 6 books altogether!)
- For every 15 books read you achieve a…free Paperback book!
- The top 3 blocks that read and show comprehension of the most books (per capita) at the cut off date win a Pizza Party!
- Participation in SIX PIX also counts towards your Language Arts Grade.
- You must pass an Accelerated Reader test to show proof of reading.
