Summer Reading Rising Level 5
Happy summer!
I hope you have a
great summer
with lots of
relaxing and fun! I
hope you will
keep reading this
summer! I have
included several
book titles from
different genres
so you will have a great variety to choose from.
Here are some things I would like you to do over the summer:
• Read a little each day, at least 15-20 minutes minimum.
• Read at least three (3) books from the suggested lists (you are
welcome to read more, this is just the minimum).
• You may read books that are not on this list, and you are
welcome to take AR tests on the books you read.
• Write down all the books you read on the Reading Log sheet.
• Pick one book that was your favorite. You will do the Bag the
Elements project with the book you choose. The project is due
our first day of school. The project table includes instructions.
Have a great summer!
