SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Statistics show that 30 minutes a day of  reading  increases scores on standardized test; therefore, the Pacelli teachers are recommending that students spend time reading this summer. 

Incoming 2^nd,3^rd,4^th,& 5^th graders –  Each student received a packet from his/her teacher. All students are encouraged to read as many books as possible.  (minimum of 8 books)

Return the Summer Reading Log the first week of school and receive a reward!

Incoming 6^th, 7^th, & 8^th graders – All students are required to write a one page reflection  report (Lit Log) on 2 reading books of their choice (no books made into movies).  Be sure to choose books on grade level and ones that haven’t been read. No book summaries! Respond to the readings by answereing some or all of these questions in paragraph form:

1. Tell about your feelings about the characters
2. Tell about your feelings about the story
3. Explain about the parts you liked or disliked (or both)
4. What questions did you ask yourself about the story?
5. What are your predictions about the story?
6. What things did you wonder while reading the story?
