Intermediate School » Summer Reading List - 6th Grade

Suggested Summer Reading for Sixth Grade
 
Students are required to read at least three books during the summer break in preparation for sixth grade. One book must be from the Suggested Summer Reading list below.  Two books are free choice, and may be self-selected by students.

The books appearing on the summer reading list reflect sixth grade themes or curricular topics. The list is meant to serve students and parents as reference. The list includes a variety of genre that offers age appropriate, quality literature.

"On Target" titles are written on a sixth grade level.  “Aiming” titles represent books written slightly below  to on level.  “Bullseye” books are written with challenging text slightly above grade level.

Students should complete an attached Summer Reading Notes page for each of the three books read this summer. Summer Reading Notes are required work and will be due in the LA/Reading classes during the first weeks of school. Happy reading!
