North Royalton Middle School Summer Reading Project – 2008

North Royalton Middle School will be implementing a summer reading program for all incoming seventh and eighth grade students. Our Language Arts teachers believe that this program will benefit students in the following ways by:

 Meeting the increasing literacy demands on the state achievement tests.

 Expanding vocabulary.

 Encouraging and developing a love for reading as a lifelong activity.

All students will read two books, one required and one of choice. Assessment at the start of the 2008-2009 school year will be part of the Summer Reading Program. A story map wil be required for the books read. Specifice directions and expectations may be found on the directions distributed to the students at the end of the school year. For your convenience, the links to these documents have been added below.
