Summer Reading Assignment
Research shows that the amount of time that students spend reading for
fun is a key predictor of their academic achievement (Gallik, 1999).
Reading improves all language arts skills. It is a skill that continues
to improve through practice, so be sure your child’s summer involves
reading. Because reading through the summer is so important, Older
Intermediate students are given a summer reading assignment. This
assignment will be handed out to the students as well as posted on the
OI - 6 class website. This will be due the first week of the 2008-2009
school year.
We have enjoyed
teaching and working with your students this year. Thank you for
sharing them with us. Have a great summer!
Mrs. Ecrette and Mrs. Lincoln
