JRMS Summer Reading Program
🌞 JRMS Summer Reading 🌞
Our goal for summer reading is to instill a love of reading for pleasure, to foster community building and empathy, and to help create connections for all students.
Summer reading is encouraged at all of our Easton/Redding schools because it helps students maintain and strengthen their reading skills while fostering a love of reading. While it is not mandatory, spending time reading over the summer can help students start the new school year feeling confident and prepared. Therefore, we’re encouraging all students at JRMS to read at least three books of their choice. There are no required titles because we believe that students are more motivated when they choose books that interest them!

Add the title and author of a book you read this summer in each square to fill a row, column, diagonal, four corners or even the whole board! Turn it in to the Library Learning Commons at the start of school for a raffle ticket to participate in a back-to-school prize!

Families: We encourage you to discuss summer reading choices with your child and help them select a book that is a good fit. Parents are best positioned to review resources to decide if a book’s content and reading level are appropriate for their child. The Mark Twain Library is a valuable resource to utilize for suggested book lists by grade level/ genre.
