A few words about Middle School Summer Reading...

Natick's middle school Language & Literacy teachers have selected required texts to provide rich literary experiences to keep students reading and growing during the summer months. It is critically important that students stay engaged during the summer months to help with the transition back to school next fall. These books will serve as a launch to learning for students in the fall and will offer teachers an opportunity to create learning experiences related to summer reading that will target key skills and get to know students as readers. It will be important to read carefully and critically, but also to find a book from the list that you are engaged in.

Students need to select one of the following texts in this Summer Reading List to read, but if interested, students can certainly read more than one of the choices. In addition to reading at least one of the assigned books for your grade level, each student in incoming grades 5-8 should read at least one other text of their choice. This could be a book, graphic novel, or another type of text at your challenge level.
