1 RISING 6 TH, 7 TH, 8 TH GRADERS Group: ESL RECOMMENDED ENGLISH READING LIST SUMMER 2017 GUIDELINES: English as-a-second Language The purpose of summer reading is to help your child maintain his skills in vocabulary, reading comprehension and writing. It is also for newly arrived students not to forget their newly acquired English language skills and to have a continuity of English throughout the summer vacation We sincerely hope that all students will make reading in English a big part of their summer vacation. We believe that consistent reading in English is a key factor in every student s language acquisition and progress.

2 RECOMMENDED SUMMER READING FOR ESL STUDENTS *Some popular titles for High Beginner High ESL level student 1. Stone Fox by J. Gardiner 2. Brian s Winter by Gary Paulsen 3.

5 *Award Winner Books There are several books for children with particular book awards such as Newbery Award (for children s literature), Caldecott Award (for exceptional illustrations), Coretta Scott King (for African American emphasis) and Parents Choice Awards. These books often make excellent reading choices for our English language learners. *Popular Magazines 1. Scholastic News, Time for Kids, and Weekly Reader (published weekly) 2. Skipping Stones an award winning multicultural children s magazine *Books with Audio CDs Several books for children come in large hard cover style that include an audio CD for listening to the stories as the children read along with them. These books help the English language learner by developing their listening comprehension in English. Several of these are meant for younger age groups for native speakers but are enjoyed very much by the young middle grade ESL student. *Other notes on authors Many books for native speakers who are at the mid to upper elementary school level are suitable for the middle grade ESL student who is a launched beginner. Choosing books from the the following popular authors for this age group (again ages 7-12 for native speaker s language level) is fine. Some of these authors are: Gary Paulsen, Beverly Cleary, Avi, Judy Blume, R.L.Stine, J.K.Rowling, Andrew Clements, Ramona Quimby, Roald Dahl, E.B.White and C.S.Lewis.
