Summer Reading
We are excited about our summer book choices and hope you will be, too. While you do not need to keep a journal or write an essay on these books, you should read the books actively and attentively. When you return to school in the fall, your teachers will lead activities to assess your completion and measure your comprehension of these works.
Please note that, beginning Tuesday, May 30, these books may be ordered directly from our online bookstore, MBS Direct. Click on Order Your Books and follow the easy instructions to make your selections. We also encourage you to read for pleasure during the summer. Reading good books is the best way to improve your reading comprehension, reading rate, and vocabulary.
[Books may be purchased from sources other than MBS Direct, but be sure to obtain the edition with the correct ISBN number.]
