My principal recently asked me to join a committee to meet with members of the school board who believe that sutdents should be tested on books from the summer reading list. They feel that this would mandate reading for pleasure. Students currently use these books for monthly book reports. I am pulling together some ideas of other ways to encourage summer reading instead of more tests! The presentation to the school board is on May 11. If anyone has any suggestions of alternatives to testing, please send me your ideas. Also, I'm researching books with a mutual respect theme for the ninth grade reading list. Promoting mutual respect is one or our school goals. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Sandie Liacouras Strath Haven High School (9-12) strschlib@hslc.org
