7th Grade Summer Reading

Dear Parents,
 
Fostering a love of reading has many rewards!  As your children assemble next year as the 7th grade class of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School, we will join in the common purpose of growing in knowledge and faith through the love of books!  So, throughout the summer, let us be connected through books in the magnificent world of reading. 
 
As rising 7^th graders, there will be two parts to summer reading:

• The first part of the seventh grade summer reading requirement will require students to read three books from the provided reading list. Students need to track their reading on the attached reading log.  The reading log will be due the first full week of school. Reading logs will be collected and used toward a grade on their final reading assignment in class. 
• The second part to summer reading will require students to complete an in class project during the first week of school focusing on: characters, setting, conflict, solution/resolution, and theme.  Students will choose one of the three books from their summer reading log. It would be helpful for the students to either have a copy of the book or have notes on the five elements listed above to complete this project.

We hope this requirement will encourage your child to continue reading over the summer.  We look forward to seeing you and your child in the fall!

Happy Reading!
