Summer Reading Program Groundrules:

1. Students will read the list and reviews on the left, and then choose THREE titles, NEW TO THEM, that they wish to read.
2. Students will consult with their parents about their reading choices, and remind them to send Ms. Spooner an email (spoonerp@oes.edu) indicating that they have approved of these choices.
3. Students will make their Summer Reading Program selections by filling out an online form that will be emailed to them. Instructions will accompany the form.
4. Before the end of the school year students will be sent an email with the title of the ONE book that they need to read.
5. Students will read their chosen book over the summer and enjoy it!
6. Students will meet in groups next September to talk about their summer reading book.
