About summer readingRequired whole-class-readALL INCOMING STUDENTS GOING INTO OTTOSON 6th GRADE FALL 2006 MUST READ THE WHOLE-CLASS-READ TITLE, Crash by by Jerry Spinelli Consider this question as you read: "Which of the two main characters would you choose for a best friend, and why? (Form an argument)" The Robbins Library has copies and bookstores in the area have been alerted to the need. It can also be purchased on-line; Amazon.com has it for sale. Required summer readingThe Ottoson Middle School encourages students to become lifelong readers and learners. The summer months are a particularly good time for students to try reading as a leisure activity. You may find that it is as pleasant as all the other things you do on vacation. Your future Language Arts teachers want you to continue to succeed in the progress which you have made in reading this past school year. We anticipate that you will use this list as a guide in selecting books. ALL INCOMING STUDENTS GOING INTO OTTOSON 6th GRADE MUST READ A MINIMUM OF FOUR BOOKS FROM THIS LIST and we strongly recommend that you read AT LEAST 6-8 BOOKS THIS SUMMER. Students are not required to confine their additional reading solely to this list, but we do think that these titles and authors will interest and excite you. Please do not forget to fill out the summer reading log - these logs are needed in September. Reading logStudents should keep a log of books read this summer. A convenient from was provided with the reading list. If the reading log form got lost, you can get a blank one
in a printer-ready format here by clicking the more button. Availability of booksSince Ottoson Library is closed during the summer, we have put our copies of the books from the reading list on deposit at the Robbins and the Fox Libraries. This means that the town libraries have generous quantities to lend. Also, local bookstores were sent our reading list, so they are likely to have the books in stock. Throughout the summer use the Robbins and the Fox Libraries to borrow books, use on-line computers to view authors' web sites and get more background about the stories you are reading, sign out books-on-tape. Summer eventsCall the Robbins Library at 781 316 3235 to check on programs planned for July and August. Some require sign-ups and you'll want to get on the list! Visit local Museums using passes from the Robbins. Check the Arlington Advocate for special programs for students.
