Instructional Ideas
  • Coordinate with the grade level group either a year ahead or behind you to set up a summer reading requirement
  • Keep the list on your wall for student reference
  • At the end of the year, pass out a copy of the list to your learners
  • Use this as your own reference material when suggesting new books to pupils or adding to your class library
Classroom Considerations

  • See the materials for a black-and-white version you can copy and distribute
Pros
  • The reading list covers a wide variety of genres so that every individual can find something of interest
  • The list notes when a book is the first in a series
Cons
