Summer Reading @ Reed!
Curious about Summer Reading?
Reading and writing during summer months is an important way to keep your skills sharp, and make the transition from summer vacation back into the school year much easier... This summer, we ask that you simply read and reflect on at least two books via the activity sheets below!

Want to "Challenge" Yourself?
At Reed Intermediate School, we also recommend that students participate in The 2016 Governor's Summer Reading Challenge - it's a wonderful way to keep track of favorites, new and old! (And yes, you can log the books for the Summer Reading assignment above!)
How do you pick a "just right" book?
