A Message to FamiliesHappy summer to all our St. Rita Students!Reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. Establishing a reading routine at home willhelp to encourage children to become lifetime readers.The Summer Reading List was developed by the St. Rita Library and Faculty to encourage reading forpleasure. Please also reference other local Summer Reading lists, such as public libraries and localbook stores.Students entering K- 4th grade are welcome to read any of the suggested reading from the list. We haveattached a few documents that may be useful and fun for your child throughout the summer, A ReadingRecord, A Favorite Book Activity & A Favorite Scene Activity.Students entering 5th grade are welcome to read any of the suggested reading from the list.Assignments are explained in the 5th grade Summer Work Packet.Students entering 6th grade-8th grade may also choose any of the suggested reading from theirspecified list as well. In addition, they must also read (2) out of the (3) required reading listed on thebottom of their specified grade list. Your child will be tested on each of those books at the beginning ofthe school year. These will count as first marking period grades.We encourage all students to visit their local library frequently throughout the summer.Together with your child we hope that you will enjoy reading together and making reading an importantpart of their lives.Happy Reading!Carissa CivitelloSt. Rita School Librarian
