Can I read on my tablet, Kindle, or other ereader?
Can I read on my tablet, Kindle, or other ereader?
Yes! We do ask that you actually read the text -- audiobooks are not permitted for the required project reading choices. For more on this, see the response to "Can we listen to the audio version of a book?".
Can my friends and I read the same book?
Can my friends and I read the same book?
That's a great idea! You must each read independently (meaning, no divvying up the chapters). You can talk about what you are reading, share insights, discuss what is happening in the story. This will help each of you see the book from different perspectives.
Can I choose a book that I read before?
Can I choose a book that I read before?
Yes and no. It can be fun read old favorites! But, the purpose of summer enrichment is to help your brain keep exercising by reading new things. Do not choose a classroom, guided reading, or personal read from this or previous school years.
Is this graded?
Is this graded?
All grades 6-8 required activities will count as a first marking period grade.
Can I listen to the audio version of a book?
Can I listen to the audio version of a book?
Mrs. Bonnefoi was somewhat conflicted on this. Listening to a book can be an incredible experience, and audio books are very convenient during long car rides. Listening is a very important literacy skill. That said, the goals of Summer Enrichment are to engage your brain and keep your visual literacy skills as strong as they are now. Absolutely listen to audiobooks. But when choosing your official project titles, please select one that you have read on the printed page or digital screen.
