Welcome to ASFMS Summer Reading Program
Dear Parents,
Summer reading should be an enjoyable experience designed to
help your child become a lifelong reader. We encourage our
students to read for enjoyment.
To this end, we hope that you assist your child in
choosing novels that are at their
easy
reading level. However, should your child want to read a
book that may be difficult consider accessing an audio tape
to accompany his/her silent reading of the text.
Audio tapes make literature that otherwise would be
difficult, more accessible to readers.
If your child’s easy reading level is
below fourth grade,
please ask your child’s teacher for assistance in selecting
summer reading materials that may or
may not
be on this list.
Books with
mature themes and content
are listed in the
back of the booklet
in order to provide parents an opportunity to review such
titles prior to their child selecting them for summer
reading.
