Dear Parents and Students,

Reading is an important skill for all students.  Improving student reading is also one of our school goals for the 2009-2010 school year. The following list contains selected novels that can assist your child in achieving this goal.  We are asking your child to select and read at least two books from his 2009-2010 grade level.  This list is intended to encourage independent student reading and is not meant to be curriculum-based required reading.  We wish you and your family a happy and healthy summmer.
