2022 Summer Reading Assignments

Elementary School Summer Reading

Rising 4th graders:

Rising fourth graders need to read a chapter book of their choice over the summer and be ready to give an informal Book Talk the first week of school. The Book Talk should be a short one- or two-minute chat about the characters, plot, setting, and summary of the book, including his/her favorite part of the book. Please see the attached document: 4th Grade Book Talk

Rising 5th graders:

Your summer reading assignment is Iron Thunder by Avi. As you read, informally keep track of characters, the setting, and from whose point of view the story is told. After you are done reading the book, come up with a visual representation of the climax or a major turning point for one of the characters or the story as a whole. This can be a diorama, a speech given as the character while you are dressed up, or some sort of presentation that shows that you have a clear understanding of what happened to change that character’s life or what changed in the story. Please go above and beyond a simple drawing or just a written paragraph. This is due Friday, August 5.
