Catch the reading wave! FSMS ELA and Library Department 2025

We ask parents and families to commit to 30 minutes a day of reading during summer months. Research suggests that this simple commitment provides growth in vocabulary, fluency, background knowledge, and overall comprehension.

Falcons, read carefully through the guidelines for your specific grade level. Be prepared to share your reading when you get back for August 2025!

6th Guidelines:

All students are encouraged to read at least one(1) novel from below. We encourage all Falcons to read a minimum of thirty minutes per day of the summer!

AAC, along with one (1) novel from above, you will also read How to Read Literature Like a Professor FOR KIDS (Chapter 1). 6th grade teachers will use this as text to cross connect other chapters throughout the 2025-26 school year.

7th Guidelines:

On- Level students are encouraged to read at least one(1) novel from below. AAC students are encouraged to read at least one (1) from below and 1 of their choice. We encourage all Falcons to read a minimum of thirty minutes per day of the summer!
