SUMMER READING INFORMATION

Summer Reading Information

Grades 6-8

Happy Summer! In an effort to encourage a love for reading this summer, we will not have a required list of books to read. We are encouraging all students to find a good fit book(s) to read this summer. As middle school students, you know how to select a book that is an appropriate level and what interests you as well. Below, is the website and log-in information to utilize the Accelerated Reading site this summer. Each time you complete a book, log-in to the AR website and take a comprehension test. You must read two books, but challenge yourself to read more AND earn points!

Log-In/Password page was sent home during the last week of school. For returning students, this is the same log-in you use when taking the STAR test. 🙂 If you can’t find it please call the front office as they have a list.
