All students enrolled in grades 1-8 for the 2010-2011 school year may participate in the Summer Reading Challenge. Each student is challenged to read 100 pages multiplied by his/her grade level. Click on the links above for the Summer Reading Challenge Form and suggested reading lists for each grade. Please list all the books you read on the Summer Reading Log. Download additional copies of the Summer Reading Log as needed. Joke books, magazines, and comics are fun to read, but they do not count toward your reading goal, so please do not list them on the log. Students are encouraged to read their Bible, but this also does not count toward the reading goal, so please do not list it in the log.  Books need to be age and reading level appropriate to be listed on the log. The Summer Reading Challenge Form for the appropriate grade along with the Summer Reading Log need to be COMPLETELY filled out, signed, and returned by August 25 to qualify for the special gifts listed below.  Please write neatly.

 

Students who meet their goal will receive a $5 gift certificate to the Fall '10 Book Fair, as well as a special casual dress day on the first day of the Book Fair. The top reader for each classroom will be taken out to Steak 'n Shake by Miss J. Nichols (TCS Librarian).

  • Half of students who don't read regularly over the summer lose reading skills.
  • One-third do not regain their May reading levels until Christmas.
  • Set a goal of how many pages or books you will read each week.
  • Even older students who know how to read need to keep reading.
  • Reading develops imagination, critical thinking, spelling, and grammar.
  • Reading develops general knowledge, creativity, and self-confidence.
  • Develop good reading skills by setting aside time every day to read.
  • Keep a book on hand in your vehicle, beside your bed, and everywhere!
  • Parents set a great example for their children by reading.
  • Consider getting your child interested in a series of books by the same author.
