Clinton Middle School Summer Reading Program
Sixth Grade
To All Incoming Sixth Graders:
We at CMS are committed to helping our students become
strong readers. So, as we depart for the summer vacation, we prescribe a
reading program for students who will be entering sixth grade in the fall.
Requirements:
- Read a minimum of four (4) books.
- Fill out a sixth grade summer reading report for each
book. Each report will be worth 25 points.
- You may read up to five (5) books for extra credit.
Each extra credit report will be worth two (2) points.
- Reports will be collected for grading on Friday,
September 28th. The grade will constitute 10% of the first
quarter grade.
You may read any age appropriate book. There is a
list of suggested titles for middle school students on the CCS website. You are
not required to read books from this list, however.
Because some titles have been purchased as class sets
to be read during the school year, we ask you do not read certain titles so the
classroom experience will be fresh. Those titles include:
The Cay by Theodore Taylor
The Clay Marble by Minfong Ho
The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder
The Pride of Puerto Rico: The Life of
Roberto Clemente by Paul Robert Walker
The Search for Delicious by Natalie
Babbitt
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine
Paterson
Welcome Home, Jellybean by Marlene Fanta
Shyer
If you have any questions or concerns about this
program, please contact Mrs. Dawes at
pdawes@ccs.edu. Have a great summer and read, read, read!!
