Although "aside from" and "besides" are acceptable ways to express the idea, I believe "in addition to" might be most precise.
"It is important to read something in English every day, in addition to class assignments."
explantion:
Both "aside from" and "besides" imply that their object (class assignments) is of lesser importance.
