Let’s Read This Summer!!

                           How many books?  2-3 or 300-450 pages

What should I read? You may select your books for summer reading.  It is important to pick carefully.  Part of your grade in the fall is based on your choices.  Remember to select books that interest you and that are on your level.  For additional tips, look at the Choosing a Great Book! bookmark.  You may select fiction or nonfiction.

How will I be graded?  You will need to update your Reading Log after each reading session.  This will need to be turned in to your teacher.  You also will have to choose your favorite book and prepare a booktalk for your classmates.  Your teacher will give you a task sheet, checklist and rubric to help you with this assignment.  Hearing other booktalks will give you an opportunity to get ideas for books to read throughout the year. 

Why should I read this summer?  Just like with any skill, practice is important.  If you do not read, you will begin the year at a lower reading level than you had at the end of the school year. 

Where do I get the books?  You can go to the public library or local book stores.
