The 2009 Summer Reading List

 
At Franklin Christian Academy, we believe that reading is one of the
greatest ways to expand our minds, develop empathy, and grow in awareness
and knowledge.  With that in mind, we have chosen two/three books
for each grade level to read over the summer.  Each student should be
prepared to demonstrate knowledge of the book during the first week of school.

 

Prior to class:  

·      Complete  the “Summer Reading Assignment” page for each book (below)

·      Complete your annotations – see sheet below for instructions

 

Grades for each book will be over the following: test the first week of school, annotations and assignment page.
