Even though the requirement is only one book, we are encouraging the continuation of reading multiple texts throughout the summer and into the upcoming school year. As we have done in years past we will continue to encourage reading choice at the middle school level. Below are our recommendations for books in various genres of literature. Students do not have to limit their choices to the books listed here. These are merely jumping off points. Read far and wide about topics that most interest you. Each grade level has also compiled some resources to help you compile your reactions to your reading. The graphic organizers listed are provided for your own personal use. You will NOT have to turn them in when school resumes. We will also offer the Blue and Gold Incentive. Check the link below for more information.
Upon return to school, students will be expected to demonstrate their abilities to address theme, supported by quotes and relevant evidence. As you scroll to the bottom of the page you will find information about how to access more summer ebook and audio options through the Pequannock Township Public Library. And finally, don't wait until school starts to share your favorite reads or listens! At the bottom of the page we have a Flipgrid for middle school students to share their thoughts about what they are reading. Join in the conversation and get reading! Each student who submits a Flipgrid response will earn an extra ticket for the Blue and Gold Incentive!
Students can also take out books via Hoopla and the Pequannock Public Library. Each Hoopla title offers unlimited borrows, so no matter what, they're available for you to read immediately! In order to borrow from Hoopla, you'll need to create a Hoopla account using your Pequannock Public Library card number and PIN. If you do not know or can't find your card number and/or PIN, email circ-peq@mainlib.org for details. You may visit or call the Pequannock Public Library upon reopening.
