Instructional Ideas

• Coordinate with the grade level group either a year ahead or behind you to set up a summer reading requirement
• Keep the list on your wall for student reference
• At the end of the year, pass out a copy of the list to your learners
• Use this as your own reference material when suggesting new books to pupils or adding to your class library

• See the materials for a black-and-white version you can copy and distribute

Pros

• The reading list covers a wide variety of genres so that every individual can find something of interest
• The list notes when a book is the first in a series

Cons
