=Reading a book in System 44 (Lexiles up to 450):= Once you have chosen a book to read, follow these easy steps-
 * 1) In the back of the room, there are two file cabinets. The top left drawer is labeled SYSTEM 44. Using the title of your book, find the correct folder.
 * 2) Once the folder is located, DO NOT remove it. Instead, open it up and take out one copy from the COMP. PACKET (in the tan folder). **IF THERE ARE NO MORE PACKETS, PLEASE NOTIFY MRS. YOUNG. SHE WILL PRINT MORE COPIES.**
 * 3) Go back to your seat, write your name and the date, and complete the QUICKWRITE and VOCABULARY sections of the packet. The quickwrite is your personal opinion, so answer it on your own. The vocabulary can be found on one of the very first pages in the book.
 * 4) Once you have completed the first two sections of the packet, put it aside. Read the book from cover to cover.
 * 5) On your second reading of the book, complete the rest of the packet.
 * 6) After completing the packet, go to the SYSTEM 44 file drawer, and remove one copy of the WRAP-UP (in the red folder). **IF THERE ARE NO MORE WRAP UP SHEETS, PLEASE NOTIFY MRS. YOUNG. SHE WILL PRINT MORE COPIES.**
