Irving MS’ Summer READ! Program
We invite all rising 7th and 8th grade students to participate in Irving MS’s Summer READ! Program.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Click on the READ! Choice Board and choose a challenge that appeals to you.
- Complete the READ! Challenge.
- Write a short reflection about what you read on this Google Form.
- Repeat Steps 1-3! 😊
For every READ! Choice Board challenge that you finish and write about in the Google Form, your name is entered into a raffle. The more things you read, the more entries you have to win prizes. Prizes will be distributed and grade-level top readers will be announced at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. The READ! Program runs from June 12, 2020 until August 24th, 2020.
If you have questions about the READ! Choice Board options, or need recommendations for book titles, please email both Irving MS librarians: (Ms. Monk) mamonk1@fcps.edu and (Mrs. Gawalt) dlgawalt@fcps.edu We will try to respond quickly to your questions, even throughout the summer months.
Please remember that you have several options for obtaining reading material during the summer.
- The Fairfax County Public Library branches are allowing users to place books on hold and then drive by for curbside pick-up when the books are ready.
- Additionally, ebooks and audiobooks are available to all FCPS students through the Mackinvia.com website. Here are complete instructions for accessing digital resources through Mackinvia.
- You may choose to purchase some titles or swap books (safely) with friends.
Looking for something for your child to read or listen to? We have updated our selection with new titles! Click below for information on accessing free ebooks and audiobooks and for a listing of the Irving librarians’ office hours:
