Summer Reading

May, 2008

Dear NBMS Student,

We urge you to strengthen your reading skills by reading as much as you can over the summer. Read fiction and non-fiction books, as well as newspapers and magazines. The books on the lists provided are by grade level and are suggested reading by NBMS English Department. You are required to read a minimum of two books this summer. You can choose to read a fiction or non-fiction book, and the books can come from the list attached or may be self-selected. We suggest you visit the list of books entitled “Books Too Good To Miss” that is linked from this page.

To help you remember what you read, your teachers are requiring you to complete a graphic organizer for one of the books. There is one organizer for fiction books and another for nonfiction books. Choose the appropriate organizer. Your teacher will give you credit for the completion of the organizer in English class. Expect an in-class writing assignment that is directly related to your summer reading assignment. Return your completed graphic organizer to your English teacher, on Wednesday, September 3 rd.

If you have any questions regarding the summer reading program, please contact me at 301/571-3883 or by email, richard_h_earenfight@mcpsmd.org

From all your teachers have a wonderful summer and read a good book or two!

Sincerely,

Your English Teachers

2008–2009
