Summer Reading and Math Assignment
for Students Entering Grade 3
Reading Assignment
Students are to read at least two chapter books over the summer. Please read more if you can. The more you read, the better prepared you will be for 3rd grade! I listed a few good chapter book series below!
When you finish reading, please complete 3 Reading Response sheets for each story (a total of 6 responses). One reading response for the characters, setting, and plot for each story your read. Be sure to use complete sentences and color in the pictures you draw to tell about your story.
