Middle School Summer Reading
For Students at Fairfield Public Schools Entering Grades 6-8
We hope you will read many books this summer!
For school, the expectation is that you will read at least two books. You should be prepared to be able to talk about the books and complete an in-class activity related to your reading. You can also use stickies, or jot down quotes, page numbers and your thoughts. See the Summer Reading link below for more details.
There are no specific lists of books you have to read. You can read what you want to read, where you want to read and however you like to read. See the tabs above for links to Nutmeg Book Awards, Newbery Book Awards, and other resources that will help you choose some great books.
Summer Reading presents you with a great opportunity to challenge yourself! Don't be afraid to try something new, something harder, and something in a genre you haven't tried before.
