Required and Suggested Summer Reading 2023: Randolph

One Non-fiction book of your choice AND any three books of your choice.

For your three books, you are asked to fill out a chart on a sheet of paper giving the name of the book, its author, and signed and pledged by both you and a parent that you finished the book and that you had not read it before.   You will be able to include these three for your “40 Book Challenge” in 6^th grade! This will be turned in on the first day of school.

For your non-fiction book, fill out the thinking routine:  Circle-Square-Triangle.  You may print off the one provided with this document or create your own.  After you read the non-fiction book fill out the shapes as follows:  Square- “What are you square with?  What did you learn that you understand well and could even teach it to someone else?  Triangle- What are the three main points of the book?  Circle- What questions do you still have swirling around in your mind?  What does the book make you wonder about?  (Include at least three questions.) This will also count toward the “40 Book Challenge.”
