Dear Parents/Guardians,

Summer Vacation will be starting soon and we all know how important it is to keep our children reading, even when they are not in school.  Your child has 2 books as “Assigned Summer Reading”. He/She will be tested and write a report on this assigned reading in September when school begins.  PLEASE make sure that your child does this reading so that he/she will be prepared for September.

TWO BOOKS THAT 6^TH-GOING-INTO-7^TH-GRADERS NEED TO READ FOR SEPTEMBER:
                        The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
                     The Outsiders  by S.E Hinton

TWO BOOKS THAT 7^TH-GOING-INTO-8^TH-GRADERS NEED TO READ FOR SEPTEMBER:
                        The Diary of a Young Girl  By Anne Frank
                    The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

           
You need to purchase a print format of the above-listed books for your child, as your child will be using the books in class in the upcoming School Year.  (A suggestion is to ask older students that have already read the above books if you can use their books, however, each 
student MUST have their own books during the year to use.) 
           
Please sign and return the bottom portion of this letter.  Thank you in advance for your 
cooperation.  Have a great Summer!
                                                                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                                           The Language Arts Teachers
