Hello! The minimum summer reading requirements for incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are:
6th - three books of any genre at appropriate reading level (minimum 150 pages)
7th - four books of any genre at appropriate reading level (minimum 150 pages)
8th - five books of any genre at appropriate reading level (minimum 150 pages)
All students should log their required books using this form by the end of the first week of school in August 2023. Audiobooks and ebooks can be counted as well.*Optional: Students may choose to participate in an additional reading challenge competition. In each class, three students with the highest number of pages read over the summer will receive a small prize when we return in the fall. Those who would like to participate in the optional competition should log all of the books they read this summer (so: the required number, plus any more) using this form.*
