Middle School Summer Reading Project

  • The primary goal of a summer reading program is to ensure that students are practicing this important skill in order to maintain reading levels.  Summer Reading will also help students get an early start on meeting the 1,000,000 word Georgia Performance Reading Standard. Students should read 2-3 books or 300-450 pages of fiction or nonfiction text over the summer.  While a list of specific titles will not be provided, it is important for adolescents to learn to self-select books based on interest and appropriate level.  Encourage your child to select a book/books that address(es) a topic or subject of interest.  

    What are Griffin’s expectations? Students are expected to complete the Summer Reading Log for books they read.  When they return to school in the fall, they will need to turn that log into their teacher.  Because real readers love to talk about their reading, they will also be assigned a booktalk on their favorite book read over the summer.  A booktalk is a 3-5 minute talk to their peers to try to motivate them to read the book.  This will provide another opportunity to create a community of literacy by students motivating each other to read.
