9 Dear Parents and Students, Summer reading is designed to maintain student reading level, improve comprehension, and enhance vocabulary. It is critical in helping ensure that students’ literacy skills remain strong. Our summer reading program was created to reduce the “summer slide” and provide your child with some excellent reading material. Our Middle School English teachers are excited about our requirements for this summer’s reading. We believe this will give our students more freedom in choosing books with subject matters in which they are interested. Parental guidance in helping students choose books to read is suggested. READING REQUIREMENTS FOR HICKORY GROVE RISING 6TH, 7TH, AND 8TH GRADERS 1. At least one book must be read in June and one in July. Your assigned book of the Bible may be read throughout the summer. 2. Choose books for two of the months from the attached list for your rising grade level. You must read one fiction book (for the “One Pager”) and one nonfiction book. For the remaining month, you are required to read the specific book of the Bible as directed on the reading list. If a student desires to read a book that is not on the attached list, special permission must be given by your upcoming teacher. You may email her with the book’s information, and she will make a decision. 3. Parents must provide each month’s book information as well as their signatures on the attached page entitled, “Summer Challenge 2019” and return it with their student no later than Friday, August 16, 2019.

Dear Parents and Students,
Summer reading is designed to maintain student reading level, improve comprehension, and enhance vocabulary. It is
critical in helping ensure that students’ literacy skills remain strong. Our summer reading program was created to reduce
the “summer slide” and provide your child with some excellent reading material.
Our Middle School English teachers are excited about our requirements for this summer’s reading. We believe this will
give our students more freedom in choosing books with subject matters in which they are interested. Parental guidance in
helping students choose books to read is suggested.
READING REQUIREMENTS FOR HICKORY GROVE RISING 6TH, 7TH, AND 8TH GRADERS
1. At least one book must be read in June and one in July. Your assigned book of the Bible may be read throughout the summer.
2. Choose books for two of the months from the attached list for your rising grade level. You must read one fiction book (for the “One Pager”) and one nonfiction book. For the remaining month, you are required to read the specific book of the Bible as directed on the reading list. If a student desires to read a book that is not
on the attached list, special permission must be given by your upcoming teacher. You may email her with the
book’s information, and she will make a decision.
3. Parents must provide each month’s book information as well as their signatures on the attached page entitled, “Summer Challenge 2019”
and return it with their student no later than Friday, August 16, 2019. Each monthly novel receives 1/3 credit towards one test grade for first quarter.
4. Students are required to complete the “One Pager” assignment attached to this document. THIS SHOULD BE COMPLETED ON STANDARD SIZE PAPER (8 1/2 X 11”). Students should complete the
entire checklist by using a book from the FICTION list, and be sure these items are on the “One Pager.” The project will be graded according to the attached rubic. See next page for an example
