Summer Reading Guidelines

For 5th and 6th Grade:
Students are required to read one of any of the following:
  • novel
  • non-fiction
  • graphic novel
  • magazine
and when they return to class in September, their assessment will be to design an advertisement or flyer that will be used to "sell" the book to other students during the school year. These will be displayed throughout the building and throughout the Media Center during the school year. To help them choose a book, we've created a "suggested" list to choose from. You can find that list at either the 5th or 6th grade page.

For 7th and 8th Grade:
Students are required to read two of any of the following:

  • novel
  • non-fiction
  • graphic novel
  • magazine
and when they return to class in September, their assessment will be to create a brochure that will be used to persuade their classmates to read what they read. These will be used throughout the year to help students self-select books for free reading. To help them choose a book, we've created a "suggested" list to choose from. You can find that list at either the 7th or 8th grade page.
