2019 Summer Reader All students at BCD are encouraged to read widely this summer. We want children to love reading, and summer is the ideal time to explore, enrich and grow.

The lists for Preschool and Lower School students, for whom summer reading is encouraged but not required, suggest appropriate books for their reading and/or listening pleasure.

All children entering Grades 5 through 9 are required [a] to read at least four books (Grade 9 to read at least five books) during the summer and [b] to be prepared to write reports on them in the fall. Students entering Grade 5 and Grade 6 have one particular book to read (see section), which counts as one of the four. Students entering Grade 7 and Grade 8 are also required to read four books. However, in their case, they must choose from a selection of 3 titles listed (see section) and then choose 3 other titles from the recommended list. Students entering Grade 9 must read five books, 2 specifically required titles, then they must choose 1 from a selection of 3 titles listed (see section) and then choose 2 other titles from the recommended list.

Once children have met requirements (if any), they need not stop reading! They may choose to read other books from their lists or, as long as the titles are appropriate, they may read books from other lists or books which do not appear on the BCD lists at all. The best indicator of your child’s reading level is a measurement called the “5 Finger Readability Test.” Ask your child to read a random page of at least 100 words. If there are more than five (5) words that are unfamiliar, perhaps another book would be more appropriate.

Award winning books are also good choices. Lists of Caldecott and Newbery titles (as well as other award winners) can be found at www.ala.org.

The Summer Reading Lists have been sent to The Bookstore in Lenox, The Bookloft in Great Barrington, the Chatham Bookstore, Barnes & Noble in Pittsfield, and all of the public libraries in the region. Most titles are readily available in any bookstore or library. Keep in mind that used bookstores are wonderful places to save money, recycle, and enjoy the luxury of an inexpensive hardcover copy!
