2011 PMA SUMMER READING PROGRAM
Participation in the summer reading program is mandatory for all students who will be entering grades 1 through 8. Much care has been taken to assure that the expectations for each grade level are appropriate to the students entering that grade and provide for the different reading levels and interests of the youngsters, as well as literary value.
At each grade level, there is a reading list from which students will select the books to read. There is also some type of report that they must complete for some of the books they will read. Before the children left for the summer vacation, they were given their book lists and the requirements and forms they will need to complete their reports.
At each grade level, there is a reading list from which students will select the books to read. There is also some type of report that they must complete for some or all of the books they will read. Before the children leave for the summer vacation, they are given their book lists and the requirements and forms they will need to complete their reports.
Upon our return to school for the 2011 - 2012 school year, your child must bring the completed reading assignments to his/her teacher during the first week of school (August 29 - Sept. 2). Your child's work will be graded on the completion and the quality of the work handed in. The mark will become part of the first quarter grade for reading/literature.
