SUMMER READING

We would like students to read at least two books over the summer. Since ARMS expects each student to read between 10 and 15 books each year, the summer reading program gets them started.

For each book read, students are requested to complete a book review(the form is included in this packet).

Suggested authors are listed below, but of course, if the student and his or her parent wish, the student may choose a book by another author.

Enjoy your summer and don't forget...READING IS FUN !
