McGee Middle School Summer Reading
Instructions for Students
Teachers and librarians at your grade level have recommended the authors listed in this packet. They represent a range of genre, topic, and level of challenge and will encourage you to laugh, dream, make personal connections, and gain information as you read.
This author list has been given to the Berlin libraries so that students in grade 5 may obtain the titles. Students in grades 6 and 7 will have an opportunity in June to select books from McGee’s Library Media Center during an ILA class.
Directions for Students Entering Grades 6, 7 and 8
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. Read at least three books during the summer. You may select books by any of the authors listed in this packet with the exception of those noted with an asterisk (*). These exceptions are books that you might read as class novels during your time at McGee.<!--[endif]-->
