2018 Elementary Summer Reading Assignment (Students Entering Gr. 3-5)

June 2018

Dear Parents/Students,

Summer reading has been a tradition and benefit for Clifton students in grades one to twelve for

many years. Summer is the perfect time for students to reap the many rewards of independent

reading. As educators, we realize the importance of reading throughout the school year and

would like to encourage reading during the summer as a way for students to maintain reading

levels and skills they have acquired within the school year. More importantly, we hope that by

encouraging independent reading, students will experience the many joys of reading and become

lifelong readers and learners.

As such, the Clifton Public Library has chosen book titles for summer reading that will appeal to

a variety of student interests. The titles for the Summer Reading Experience 2018 are attached.

Students entering grades 3, 4, and 5 are to read at least two books from the appropriate list and

complete a choice board (a literature response assignment) for each book read. We invite you to

share the summer reading experience by reading to your child, with your child, or by simply

letting your child read independently.

Teachers will review with students the requirements for summer reading. Information can also be

found on the Clifton Public Schools website, www.clifton.k12.nj.us . The reading log should be

returned to their classroom teacher by September 7, 2018.

We strongly encourage students to read additional selections from the list to foster a life-long

love of reading and invite them to wonder, imagine and explore life’s endless possibilities.

We would like to extend our appreciation to you for your anticipated cooperation in encouraging

your children to read.

Happy Reading!

Educationally yours,

Dr. Valerie Kropinack

Supervisor of Language Arts, K-8
