[LM_NET] summer reading

[Debbie Benedict <BenedictD@LITCHFIELDSCHOOLS.ORG>]

Greetings,

Well it is that time of year again!  We are looking at our summer
reading lists and talking about what if any requirement we want students
to complete along with their summer reading. Over the years our district
has had a variety of summer reading packets. The one assignment that
stuck the longest was our  annotated short list that included all
reading levels and asked students to choose a summer reading book from
the list. During the first week of school, teachers would then divide
the school up and have  book discussions.   I felt the list was limited
and we are contemplating a new list with just authors to give kids a
wider choice of  authors and genres. Do we have an assignment??  I would
be interested in hearing how other schools handle summer reading.  

Thanks
