Required Summer Reading

Mooreland Hill School Summer 2009 Reading Assignment
Each student must read the required selection for the grade he or she is entering into. In addition, each student is required to choose three books of his or her own preference from the suggested reading list, provided they are at or above the student’s reading level. Take this as an opportunity to improve your reading skill and increase your vocabulary.
There are two different reading card formats, one for the 5th and 6th grades, and another for the 7th and 8th grades. Each student is required to complete one card for each book read. Each student must bring to English class four completed cards on the first day of school.
To obtain your cards, please download the grade specific .pdf below. Alternately you can stop by campus where extra summer reading cards will be located in the front office.
In addition, also located on this site is a supplemental suggested reading list. Please take some time to review this list when you are selecting books to read this summer.
Required Reading Selections:
5th grade: Sounder by William Armstrong
6th grade: A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park
7th grade: Lord of the Flies by William Golding
8th grade: A Separate Peace by John Knowles
