2 Dear Parents, During the summer months, it is crucial that children continue to read daily to sustain their academic skills. The importance of summer reading cannot be overemphasized. Educational researchers note that some children s reading levels dropped as much as two grades when students did not read regularly over the summer months. It is really simple: the more students read, the better readers they become. Though only two books are required for summer reading, we hope that your child reads many more. Your support is a critical part of the Summer Reading Program. All incoming grade 6-8 students are required to read at least ONE book from the given required book list and ONE book from the suggested author list. Students are required to complete one of the listed assignments for each book read. In the fall, ELA teachers will review student s progress and students will earn a quiz grade reflective of the effort that students have put into the summer work. Reading packets will be due to student s ELA teacher by September 1, Students who complete this packet to the best of their ability and pass them in on time will be awarded raffle tickets toward prizes. If the packet is not turned on time, the expectation will be that the student will stay after school for support during the week of September 4 th. The final day that the packet will be accepted will be Friday, September 8, 2017 and the most a student can earn is an 80%. If you do run into any difficulties, please do not hesitate to let us know by contacting jvezina@winchendonk12.org Have an enjoyable summer and happy reading! Sincerely, The English Language Arts Department

The Westing Game- Ellen Raskin (Mystery) When an eccentric millionaire named Sam Westing suddenly dies, sixteen very unlikely people are gathered together for the reading of the will that leads them on the adventure of a lifetime.

The books chronicle the adventures of two siblings, Amy and Dan Cahill, who discover that their family, the Cahills, has been the most influential family in history. (Fiction) Maze Runner-James Dashner (Fantacy/Sci. Fiction) When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He s surrounded by strangers boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It s the only way out and no one s ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying. Remember. Survive. Run Things Not Seen-Andrew Clements (Fantacy/Sci. Fiction) Bobby Phillips is an average fifteen-year-old boy. Until the morning he wakes up and can't see himself in the mirror. Not blind, not dreaming. Bobby is just plain invisible... Wonder-R.J. Palacio (Realistic Fiction) August Pullman wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. But Auggie is far from ordinary. Ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all? Number the Stars-Lois Lowry (Historical Fiction) Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life. How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous- Georgia Bragg, Kevin O'Malley (Non-fiction) Over the course of history men and women have lived and died. In fact, getting sick and dying can be a big, ugly mess-especially before the modern medical care that we all enjoy today. How They Croaked relays all the gory details of how nineteen world figures gave up the ghost.
