ASCS SECOND GRADE SUMMER READING

Dear Incoming 2nd Grade Parents, As you know, fostering a love of reading at a young age has so many benefits. With reading being the biggest indicator of academic success, we must foster that love and continue to encourage our students to read. At All Saints Catholic School we want to do all that we can to foster that love of reading. This summer students will have the opportunity to build their knowledge and faith through the wonderful world of books! As incoming 2nd graders there will be 2 parts to our summer required reading program. They are as follows: •

•

•

The first part of the 2nd grade required summer reading program will be for the students to read 10 books from the list provided. Students will record the books in the reading log provided. Most of these books can be found at your local library. I encourage a good mix of fiction and non-fiction books. The second part of the 2nd grade required summer reading program is to pick one of the books from your reading log and complete a book project over the book. Below are some creative options your child may choose to do based on a book from the attached list. Please include the title an author of your story with your project. 1. Book Timeline: Find or draw a picture to represent the beginning, middle, and ending of your book. Put them in order on a timeline and include one sentence about each picture. 2. Movie Poster: Pretend the book is going to be made into a movie and create a poster to promote the movie. 3. Book Collage: Create a collage using pictures that represent different parts of the book. 4. Book in a Box: Decorate a box to represent the book and fill it with objects (at least 4) that symbolize different parts of the story. 5. Book Report: Instead of one of the projects, you may choose to complete one of the book report forms provided. The reading log and book project will be due on the first day of school.

My hope is that this summer requirement will encourage your child to continue to read over the summer. I am looking forward to seeing you in the fall! Have a wonderful summer vacation! Mrs. Gamboa
