Discover the exciting opportunities available for Christina School District students this summer! Our comprehensive chart outlines the schedules for our summer programs, ensuring you can plan ahead and make the most of your child's break.
Summer Reading for Grades 6-12
The goal of the summer reading program is to foster a love of reading while children and families explore new books together. Students in grades 6-8 and 9-12 (rising 6th and rising 9th will have the appropriate book for their grade level) will each have their own novel. All students will be provided the required book.
Supporting students as readers can be a family affair! So how can you make reading a natural fit for your summer? Here are some pointers:
- Make sure your children are reading books that are on their level—not too easy and not too hard.
- Help them find books about things they are interested in—sometimes the key to getting a child to love reading is simply to find the right genre or author.
- If a book at any grade level catches the interest of your child, allow them to select the book. Students should have a good understanding of their personal reading comfort level from their learning experiences in ELA.
- Bring your children to the library and/or make use of digital libraries. You can look at the additional resources chart below for plenty of free access to books!
- Talk to your children about what they are reading. Open-ended questions (What would you have done if you were that character? What do you like about this book?) can start a meaningful discussion and show your children that you value what they are reading.
- Feel free to reach out to your child’s current ELA teacher for additional summer reading pointers.
