Summer Reading Recommendations

for SDMS

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Choose two books that YOU WANT to read. They should be books you have not read before2. Log each book on an online Google Form through the Wethersfield Library and earn prizes! Your entries will automatically be submitted to your Language Arts Teachers in September. 3. If you would rather track on paper, you can print a paper reading log to turn into your Language Arts teacher in September.

Summer Reading Log Options

Students can choose one of two options to log their books for summer reading:

1. Use the Wethersfield Library Google Form to easily log books and earn prizes in their weekly raffles (entries will be automatically sent to SDMS Staff the first week of school)

2. Print and hand-write the books you read on a summer reading log

Dear SDMS Students,Summer reading should be enjoyable and fun! That's why we don't tell you what to read--we simply recommend that you pick two books of your choice to read! They should be books that you have never read before and are appropriate for your age and reading level. We encourage you to read fiction and non-fiction and to choose from different genres. Ebooks and audiobooks are a great choice as well! When you finish a book, add it to your reading log. We prefer you submit the information in the online Wethersfield Library Teen Summer Reading Book Log. Submitting it through the Wethersfield Library makes you eligible to earn prizes in their weekly raffles, and your entries will be automatically shared with your teacher in September. However, if you prefer, you may choose to handwrite on a printable reading log. Your Language Arts Teachers will collect your printed reading log the first week of school. We hope that you will read some great books this summer and look forward to your reactions adn recommendations--hopefully many more than two books! In addition, we encourage you to participate in some of the fun, engaging, creative programs the Wethersfield Library has to offer this summer as well!
Happy reading!
Dr. Russell and the Language Arts Teachers
