Summer Reading List

Summer Reading & Writing

Summer is the perfect time for families to read for enjoyment. Summer reading has helped students:

(1)Encourage a love and enjoyment of books

(2)Provide exposure to a variety of genres

(3)Increase vocabulary knowledge

(4)Increase reading fluency

(5)Develop background concepts and general knowledge

(6)Provide models of good writing.

Students are required to read Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit and it is suggested to read at least 2-3 books this summer.

Another great idea to encourage your child to keep a personal journal where they can record their ideas or events that occur during their summer days.This is not required, but just an idea!

Below is a list of recommended books students can choose from. Also check out Barnes and Noble for other ideas.
