Dear Parents of Incoming Fourth Graders,

The following is a list of selected books for your child to read or listen to the audio book before the onset of school in the fall. He/she will be required to read two of the books from Part 1 and complete the project explained in Part 2 for only one book. By maintaining an active literacy life over the summer, you ensure your child has the best start to the next grade level. Students may test on Accelerated Reader in the fall if they choose to.

Sincerely,

The Fourth GradeTeachers

The Cushman School wishes you a summer full of stories and special moments!

Read from our elibrary all summer long! Learn about SORA here and how you can access your account.

Part 1 Please have your child read or be read to two (2) of the following books:

Part 2 From the two books you selected, please complete the following assignment for just ONE of the books:

•  Complete the Story Grammar Marker form (included below).

•  Write one paragraph explaining why you did or did not like the book.  

• Draw an illustration related to the story.
