sun NCLB logoALL MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS should read different kinds of writing, from fiction to biography, from poetry to science, from books to magazines and newspapers. This SUMMER READING LIST of mostly fiction includes award winners, new titles, and personal favorites. Use these recommendations for summer reading and all year round to discover some great writers and storytellers.

What is Required?

All students entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grades are required to read at least one book during the summer related to this list of recommendations. This must be a book you have never read before. If you are reading a series, and the next one is not on the list – no problem. Want to read a different book by an author on the list – no problem. The point is to find great books to read. Students must fill out the Book Review Sheet and turn it in to their language arts teacher when school starts in August

What is Encouraged?

All students entering 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades are encouraged to read lots of books during the summer.  Students who read at least three books, and turn in "review sheets" on all three, will receive a special ice cream treat from the Hall Middle School PTA when school resumes in the fall.
