Summer Reading Program
Required Reading log

​Required Reading:  Please complete the attached reading log.  Fill in one book per line (title) with the day you started the book and then the day you finish the book.  The minimum number of pages required is on the Reading Log.  Feel free to read more than that – lots more!  So don’t wait—begin now—and get off to a great start  on your summer reading.  J 
 
Extra Credit:  Up to three book reports may be done for extra credit in Language Arts (one book report to be credited each trimester).  Book reports should include a synopsis of the book and your analysis of it.  Books that are current (or recent) movies may not be used. 
 
Reading logs and all book reports are due the first week of school.
