Dear Parents, As you know, research demonstrates that independent reading is essential to build reading skills and vocabulary knowledge. In keeping with this research, students entering T-1 and T-2 will participate in a summer reading program this year. Rising T-1 and T-2 students will be expected to read three books during the summer break. The first book is required for everyone in the class. Students may choose to read the book or listen to it on tape or CD. Both of the required books are available in an audio version. Each required book is accompanied by a written project. This project will be collected and graded by LA teachers in the fall. In addition, these books will be incorporated into instruction during the first weeks of school next year. The remaining books are to be selected by the student. The only requirement for these books is that they be at an appropriate reading level for the child. Please help your child to select books that he or she will enjoy. Your child should use the Reading Record sheet in this packet to record books read. Students are not required to complete a project on choice books, but are expected to read two books in addition to the required book. Of course, reading more than three books is wholeheartedly encouraged! Please take a few minutes to look over your child’s summer reading packet. If you have any questions, feel free to contact your child’s LA teacher or Mrs. Shea. As always, thank you for your trust and support. Sincerely, Chris Shea Language Arts Coordinator Summer Reading Packet Summer Reading Record Sheet Summer Reading Paper Rubric Summer Reading Paragraph Rubric Reading List - Rising T1 Students Reading List - Rising T2 Students |
