VOLUNTARY SUMMER READING
Happy Summer to everyone! All students entering Preschool (Jr. Kindergarten and Kindergarten), the School of Grammar (C1 – C6), and the School of Logic (C7 – C10) are encouraged to participate in our voluntary summer reading program. Summer reading is required for all returning families.
To give you more options for summer reading we chose to share our top picks for Preschool and the School of Grammar with you. Books in bold indicate that your child may read those during the school year. We encourage all students to read literature books for prior classes that have not yet been read. Students in the School of Logic can read selections found here.
Please print the Summer Reading Log for you to keep records. These are turned in on the first day of school. Students who complete the minimum requirements will be recognized on Dedication Night or our August Convocation. To be recognized students must complete the minimum required reading time listed below.
REQUIRED SUMMER READING AND WRITING
- Jr. Kindergarten and Kindergarten: Students should read or have books read to them at least 15 minutes per day.
- Students entering Classes 1 through 10 are required to complete summer reading and writing assignments, as emailed by your teacher. Students in Classes 7 through 10 can view the video below for an overview of their required summer writing.
- All students are encouraged to partake in the summer reading program, reading a minimum number of hours over the summer. Again, please print the Summer Reading Log for you to keep records.
- Your summer reading log and required reading and writing assignments must be turned in to your teacher on August 7, the first day of school.
Students with a Student Support Plan will complete assignments emailed by the Students Support Teacher.
It is your decision whether the child reads from the grade level they completed, are entering into or a combination of both. Please let us know if you have any questions. 229.445.8180 | jrucker@providencetift.com
