How I Completely Changed My Summer Reading Assignment - 012

from Teaching Middle School ELA · host Caitlin Mitchell

About three years ago, I made the switch to an evidence-based writing packet for a short story for my summer reading assignment. (I also gave students the option to challenge themselves and read at least one other book of their choosing! I provide them with a list as well if they don’t know where to start. This also helps parents out over the summer, too, if they really do want their child reading - which hopefully they do!) So I want to walk you through WHY I chose to move to this model for my summer reading assignment and why it’s been so incredibly effective.
