ELEM Summer Reading Assignments

[Frances King <Maxine049@AOL.COM>]

This year my school has a new principal and he would like me to give a summer
reading assignment (written) to our present grade 2 students.  The 2nd
graders are our oldest returning students.
Normally, I do a parent letter and strongly suggest students join the public
library summer reading program.  I also give the students summer reading
lists of suggested titles.  I am a little reluctant to give an assignment
because I want my students to enjoy reading and not always tie it to school
work.
Does anyone use a summer assignment at this level?  I would appreciate any
ideas.
Thanks for your help.
