Second grade students may choose at least two books from the reading list to
read over the summer. Be sure to read carefully and with understanding. Learn
how to pronounce each word in the book. You have the entire summer to do this.
We will write book reports the first week of school. This will be done in class.
Parents, you don’t need to do anything except help your choose and read two
books from list. The book reports will be graded. Each student will also
be responsible for giving a book talk on the second book. This will also be
graded. Guidelines will be given after we return in August. At least one week
