Grade 5 Summer Reading List

 

All incoming fifth graders must read at least 3 books during the summer vacation. You are encouraged to read more. The required books for 5^th grade are:

·         From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsberg and

·         Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli.

Choose a third book that is grade appropriate (at least 150-200 pages). You will be tested on these books in the fall. You should take notes in the margins of the book as you read and keep a list of the characters on the inside of the front cover.

 

Please purchase A Long Way from Chicago, by Richard Peck, as the class will read it during September.
