Summer Reading!!!

What are you going to read this summer? 

My granddaughters enjoy books and "read" everyday. They are learning important concepts about stories, setting, plot, characterization, beginning, middle and end, illustration, vocabulary and more. Doesn't that sound just like your English class? You need to practice reading to establish and keep up your skills. So, please take time to read this summer. Avoid the summer slide! Grab a book off your shelf, buy a best seller, download a book to your Kindle or Nook, or go to the local public library and check one out. You'll come back in the fall ready to go and your reading skills intact.

For some ideas of what to read this summer, check out this list of recommended books for the college-bound or the Shmoop Summer Reading list.
