St. Andrew’s Summer Reading and Beyond
Reading
Summer Reading Program
-
Students in grades Pre-K3 through grade 8 have 1 (one) required reading selection for the summer. The theme of all of these books is “responsibility”. This topic correlates with the first school-wide theme in our new character education curriculum. Students in grades 1 through 8 will also need to complete literary summary sheet for their required book. Please see the attached grade specific links for more information.
Pre-K3, Pre-K4, and Kindergarten
Grades 1 through 4
Grade 5
Grade 6
Grade 7
Grade 8
-
Students in grades K through grade 8 will then choose at least one other book selection of their choice and complete an assessment project to share with their class on September 6.

Reading Railroad Challenge
-
Students in grades Pre-K3 through grade 8 will participate in this new reading enrichment program to encourage reading for pleasure. Students keep track of all books they read over the summer and then when school begins, they will track books read outside of school. Students will use the Reading Railroad Record (attached) to keep track of the books they complete. As students complete certain reading benchmarks (25 books read, 50 books read, etc.) they will be recognized and will receive a Reading Railroad t-shirt. Students will have the opportunity to get a jump start on the challenge by tracking books they complete over the summer.

Math
We are incorporating some math resources for the summer as well. While it is not required, we do recommend investing in some of the materials to keep your child’s math skills sharp.
We have included links to sites where you can purchase math review materials. Mr. B has also attached a math review packet that middle school students can complete to earn extra credit for the 2011-2012 school year.
