[CASL-L] Summer reading

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask what other districts do for summer reading for students in
grades 5-8 (middle levels)?  Do you ask for a reading log?  What incentives
do you offer?  Is there required reading or is it voluntary?  If you can
share what you have, that would be great.

Our public library also has incentives for summer reading and we advertise
these to our students before they leave us in June.

Any thoughts or ideas that have worked is appreciated.  We are trying to
get more kiddos reading over the summer as our participation last year
needs much improvement.  We would like to do something that is manageable
for teachers to assess in the fall when students return (we are a school of
approx. 850 students).

We offer a "reading celebration" in the fall for those students that
participated in reading over the summer.

Respectfully,
