The ACDS Reading and Response Project is required summer work. Students are required to read the assigned book and respond to the questions in the hard copy journal provided to them. Once they complete the required reading, students may choose additional books from the Just Right Books list and respond to some of the optional journal prompts.
The purpose of the ACDS Reading and Response Project is to encourage wide reading, writing, thinking, noticing and creating. Reading helps us discover new ideas, expand our knowledge and develop our imagination. Writing helps students become thoughtful and effective communicators. Like any skill, intellectual growth requires regular practice and continued effort. Studies show that strong readers read often, while struggling readers tend to read less. The best way to improve fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, word knowledge, and overall communication skills is to read and write regularly.The more the better! This project is a great way to introduce yourself to your teachers and classmates for next year. |
