In order to hep maintain and grow their reading skills, every 5th through 9th grade student at Voyager Academy must read at least two books from the Summer Reading Book List. This is your child’s time to implement many of the strategies learned during the school year. The books must be carefully read before returning to school in August. To help remember important details, your child may wish to take notes on the outline form provided. As an additional aid, we encourage each child to bring these books to school if at all possible. During the beginning of the school year, your child’s Language Arts teacher will inform him/her of additional requirements and/or assessment associated with the books.
