When you have read your book, you should fill in the reading response form and bring it with you on the first day of school. We would also like to challenge you to read as many of the books on the list as you can. The students who read the most books from the list will be given a prize the first week of school. In order to be eligible for a prize, list all the books you have read and have your parent/guardian sign it. This will count the first 2 days of school. Have a fun summer and get lost in a good book along the way! .
