Summer Reading for Students Entering Sixth Grade in Fall, 2014

Summer is a great opportunity for your student to continue reading and to catch up on the reading that he/she did not have time for during the school year. Research shows that students typically lose the equivalent of one month of knowledge over the summer. We do not want that to happen! Thus, we have created a Summer Reading Program to motivate every student enrolled at Hawthorn Middle Schools to read over the summer. The purpose of this year’s Summer Reading Program is to encourage our students to want to read. We feel that allowing students to choose what they read will increase their enjoyment and foster life-long readers. A reading log is attached along with more information about summer reading.
