Welcome to Summer 2009 Reading! Here are the Middle School requirements for summer reading: Also, here are suggestions for pleasure reading during the months ahead. Whether at home, at camp or at the beach, summer is a time to slow down and follow those interests that you don’t have enough time for during the school year. For pleasure reading, here are a few tips: View the Suggestions from the Library - These books are easy to find, and we know people who have enjoyed them recently. There are, of course, many, many books not on this list that are every bit as worthwhile. Ask Friends - Asking friends to suggest books they liked can lead to some good conversations about what books are about and how they fit your tastes. Also, you can borrow books from them and trade with them. Choose Authors - If you know of an author whose book(s) you have enjoyed, you could choose another book by the same author. You might also enjoy sequels to books in a series. Follow Interests - If you love sports, or horses, or computers, for example, you can pursue your personal interests by asking in libraries and bookstores for recommendations. Select Types of Books - If you are a sci-fi fan, or if you love mysteries, romance, biography, or historical fiction you can look for titles under such categories in bookstores. (In some libraries books are catalogued differently.) Browse - Browsing in libraries, bookstores, and the bookshelves available to you can be very rewarding. Make sure you ask in stores and libraries for advice if you need it.
Whatever books you select, take delight reading them at your own pace when and where you choose. And above all, have a wonderful summer. < Back
