1 Home Herbert A. Ammons Middle School 2015 Summer Reading Requirement Dear Parents, Summer is here which means it is time for SUMMER READING! Encouraging our children to read in the summer months is essential. Studies have shown that children who read more become better readers, and children who read over the summer months often gain, rather than lose, important skills.* Attached please find the Required Summer Reading List by grade for your child. The school requirement is that students read 2 books over the summer. One book must be from the Individuals & Societies book selections, and one book must be from the Language & Literature book selections listed. The Language & Literature book selections include a fiction and a nonfiction choice. The book selections have been separated by grade level in the following pages. After books have been chosen and read, students should complete the Summer Reading Documentation Form also attached. Be sure a parent has signed it, and be prepared to turn in each section to the teacher listed (Language & Literature, Individuals & Societies, and Homeroom) during the first week of school. If a student reads any additional books during the summer, besides the book selections required, those book titles should be listed in the Homeroom section of the Summer Reading Documentation Form. In the first weeks of school, students can expect to complete a graded activity/test on the required reading in their Individuals & Societies and Language & Literature class. For this reason, although not mandatory, it might be helpful for your child to take notes or summarize chapters in the book to assist him/her in remembering what was read and to maximize his/her ability to remember when it comes time to complete the activity/test. Individuals & Societies teachers require a graded activity and Language & Literature teachers require a test be taken related to the book each student reads for their class. Additionally, in the first weeks of school, students will also have the opportunity to take an AR quiz for the required books they read. The deadline for AR testing on these required reading books will be September 29th. The points they receive on the AR quizzes they pass will count towards their quarterly reading goal determined in the first couple of weeks of school. AR Quizzes for any other book(s) a student chooses to read over the summer that is listed in the Homeroom section of the Summer Reading Documentation Form section will also count towards their quarterly reading goal for the 1 st nine weeks. If lost, all of this information will be made available over the summer on the school webpage at If you have any questions about the Summer Reading Books, please send me an at cgbrito@dadeschools.net. I may check my periodically over the summer. Have a great day. Mrs. Gonzalez-Brito Media Specialist
