Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary Charter 3rd Grade

Summer Reading List Dear Parents/Guardians of Rising 3rd Graders, Welcome to Third Grade! It is extremely important that your child continues reading over the summer so that he/she does not experience the “summer setback” when they return in the fall. Research shows that the best way to become better readers is to spend time reading. Below are the novels each third grader should read this summer along with activities to complete. The first novel “Donavan’s Word Jar” is a novel that all third graders must read and complete the activity for. The second novel is student choice. Students must choose one novel from the list to read and complete the attached book report or Comprehension Packet. Students are free to read more than one novel from the student choice list. All assignments will be graded and used during the 1st week of school. Thank You, 3rd Grade ELA
