The TDSB Homework Policy recommends that primary students read every night for a minimum of 10 minutes, and junior students for a minimum of 20 minutes. Please encourage your children to create a positive reading habit. It is beneficial if students read a variety of texts (websites, newspapers, graphic novels, comics, story books, non-fiction informational books, poems, magazines, etc.)
