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. Assignments should be passed in to students ELA teachers by September 11, 2015 and will count as a quiz grade. Students who complete their assignments and pass them in on time will be invited to a summer reading celebration to be held in the fall. Have an enjoyable summer and happy reading! Sincerely, The English Language Arts Department

Here is what you need to do: 1. Read one book from the required book list 2. Read one book from the suggested author list 3. Complete one square on the Assignment page for each book you read.

Uglies- Scott Westerfeld Tally is faced with a difficult choice when her new friend Shay decides to risk life on the outside rather than submit to the forced operation that turns sixteen year old girls into gorgeous beauties, and realizes that there is a whole new side to the pretty world that she doesn't like. The Bar Code Tattoo- Suzanne Weyn Things for Kayla progress from bad, as in being told her computer grades disqualify her from an art scholarship, to worse, when she refuses to accept an identification bar code tattoo on her seventeenth birthday. The Crossover- Kwame Alexander In this middle grade novel in verse that's Love That Dog meets The Watsons Go to Birmingham meets Slam, twelve-year-old twin basketball stars Josh and Jordan wrestle with highs and lows on and off the court as their father ignores his declining health. El Deafo- Cece Bell Going to school and making new friends can be tough. But going to school and making new friends while wearing a bulky hearing aid strapped to your chest?

Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream- Tanya Lee Stone A chronicle of the thirteen women who tried to become NASA's first women astronaut trainees in the early 1960s.
