Summer Reading Challenge 2018 WALTON MIDDLE SCHOOL Summer Reading Challenge 2018 Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, Each Summer WMS sponsors a Summer Reading Program for all students entering grades 6-8. The goals of the program are to foster a love of reading, to promote independent reading and to ensure that your child’s reading skills are maintained at their current level. This summer reading program is optional but strongly supported by our administration and teachers. WHAT TO DO: To participate in the Summer Reading Program, we require all students to read a minimum of three books : two fiction books from our Recommended Titles and Authors, Sunshine State Young Readers Award, Author or Fiction Super Series lists, and one nonfiction book from our Nonfiction Topics list. Fiction books must have at least 80 pages, and the nonfiction book must have at least 20 pages. Over 150 nonfiction eBooks are available for students this year. (See the directions to access Walton Middle School eBooks on the following page.) To complete the Summer Reading Program students will turn in their Student Reading Record Log and one completed Reading Record for each of the three books they have read by Monday, August 27th to the Media Center. If you should need additional copies of the Summer Reading Packet, you will be able to locate the link on our school homepage www.walton.k12.fl.us/schools/wms/INDEX.htm To determine the AR level of a book visit: www.arbookfind.com WHY SHOULD YOU? Students who have read the required three books and completed the three Reading Records will celebrate their summer reading success with a splendid literacy celebration in October. This year’s celebration promises to be the most exciting summer reading reward ever!!!! Finding the Books The Walton County Library is aware of our Summer Reading Program and has a copy of the required reading list. If the library does not have the book you want, ask them to request it through their interlibrary loan system. We hope that our Summer Reading Program will give students and their families an opportunity to share and enjoy summer reading.

  • Shifting Perceptions of Authorship in Transmedia Publishing
    NOTES THE RISE OF THE PRODUCER- NOVELIST: SHIFTING PERCEPTIONS OF AUTHORSHIP IN TRANSMEDIA PUBLISHING INTRODUCTION In October 2006, Running Press Kids, an imprint of Perseus Books, published the novel Cathy’s Book: If Found Call 650-266- 8233, written by co-authors Jordan Weisman and Sean Stewart.1 When confronted with the book’s title, the reader may find it neces- sary to follow the book’s instructions and call the telephone number.2 Upon dialing the number, the reader is greeted by the following mes- sage: Hey, this is Cathy and I can’t come to the phone right now…because cell phones can be traced and not always by the good guys. If this is mom, don’t worry: I’m okay. Emma, if this is you, I left my book under your porch. Take a look. I think there’s stuff buried there we haven’t figured out yet. Okay, leave a message at the beep.3 The number then prompts the reader to enter a four-digit access code to retrieve Cathy’s messages; however, because the reader does not have Cathy’s access code yet, the reader must proceed to open the 1 SEAN STEWART & JORDAN WEISMAN, CATHY’S BOOK: IF FOUND CALL (650) 266-8233 (2006). 2 Authors often devote a section of their books to describing the optimal reading experience. See, e.g., ITALO CALVINO, IF ON A WINTER’S NIGHT A TRAVELER 3-4 (William Weaver trans., Harcourt Brace & Co.1981) (1979) (Calvino offers a detailed description of the reader’s potential experience in the first chapter before launching into the narrative.).

  • GORDON KORMAN : Book Descriptions ​ ​ Interested in Some Fun and Adventurous Reading? Try Some Or All of Gordon Korman’S Books
    GORDON KORMAN : Book Descriptions ​ ​ Interested in some fun and adventurous reading? Try some or all of Gordon Korman’s books. See how many you can read before he arrives at our school on March 30 & 31, 2016. Most of his books are realistic fiction. Several of his stand­alone books are quite humorous but also have a valuable message. Many of his series are adventurous and quite suspenseful. Enjoy ! Section 1­­­ Korman’s stand-alone books; considered appropriate for grades ​ ​ 5-8. Ungifted: Ungifted is a new title about a young struggling student troublemaker who is ​ accidentally transferred to a school for highly­gifted genius­level students. To say he doesn't fit in would be a severe understatement. But while Donovan Curtis in no way belongs, he does find things he can contribute. How long will it take for the school to realize he doesn't belong? How much trouble will he get in as they figure it out? And how many lives will he change in the process? These are hard questions to answer without reading the book. Thankfully, it is a fun read, so discovering these answers will be a joy. (Lexile 730) Schooled : Capricorn, 13, lives with his hippie grandmother on a farm commune. He's never been to school, never watched TV, and doesn't even own a phone. When Rain falls out of a tree whilepicking plums and is sent to rehab for several weeks, Cap stays with a social worker and is sent to the local junior high school. There he is introduced to iPods, cell phones, spit balls, and harassment.
