HOWELL TOWNSHIP PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUMMER READING LIST
HOWELL TOWNSHIP PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUMMER READING LIST
In order to promote reading proficiency, reading habits must be sustained year-round. For many years, the Howell K-8 school district has provided students with summer reading recommendations in preparation for a summer filled with time for reading. These books are not required reading, rather a collection of curated titles to serve as ideas. Students are encouraged to read any texts that appeal to their interests and values.

Participation is a fun and easy way for kids to earn free books. They simply read a designated number of books – library books, books borrowed from friends or books bought at Barnes & Noble – write about their favorite part in our Reading Journal, and bring a completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Children then choose their free book from the books listed on the Reading Journal and collect their free book from a store near them during July and August.
