REMINDER ~ Summer Reading

There is still time to get in a great book this summer!

This summer students are asked to participate in our summer reading program. Students are required to read six books and complete a review for three of those books. Attached are directions, examples, and a blank summer reading form. Students should turn in review forms to their teacher next year.

Summer Reading Directions   &    Summer Reading Student Form

Students may submit Summer Reading Recommendations on our CES Flipgrid. Mrs. Jennings will review submissions.

If you have any questions please contact our librarian Meredith Reid at mareid@fcps.edu
