is reading survey will be used to help you become aware of your reader identity and for us to plan for the school year. It will be shared with your English teacher so he/she can also plan for the school year. When I write plan, I mean if we identify a pattern or trend, we can create specific lessons, learning tasks, and assignments. Please remember to be honest, so we can create the most effective lessons. We want to offer you the best education. For your information, there are only 27 questions, take your time. :-)
