Each student is expected to read  two books.  The starred (*) book on the list is  required  and a test will be given on that book the first full day of school.  The test will be a multiple choice/short answer test on the content of the book. Each student will have questions to answer on this book in Google Classroom.  A second book should be chosen from the list to be summarized. The student will complete the worksheets and then write a two-three paragraph essay in Google Classroom.

Please know that studies show that students who read over the summer hold onto core reading skills and do better at the start of the new school year.  I encourage you and your child to visit the library frequently. The reading of these and other books is a way to establish good reading habits, build a strong vocabulary, and improve Language Arts skills.
