Dear Rising 7th Grade Student,<\/p>\n
Reading is a very important part of your experience at Dalton, and we hope that each of you will become a life-long pleasure reader. Summer is a time for recreational reading, for exploring new books or reading those that you never had time for during the busy school year. Although we hope that you will read voraciously this summer, we request that each of you reads a minimum of two\u00a0books of your own choosing<\/strong>. \u00a0You may choose books from the 2016\u00a0Recommended Summer Reading for Rising 7th and 8th Grade Students<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Recommended Book Series<\/a>\u00a0lists, prepared by Mrs. Feldman, or explore bookstores and libraries for great new titles and classics.<\/p>\n Please also read S.E. Hinton\u2019s\u00a0The Outsiders<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and George Orwell’s\u00a0Animal Farm<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>in late August or early September so that you will be able to discuss it during the first week of school. In other words, you should read at least\u00a0FOUR<\/strong>\u00a0books over the summer. We will ask that you share your summer reading with us in some form in the fall.<\/p>\n We also highly recommend\u00a0The Book Thief<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0by Markus Zusak.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n 7th Grade English Teachers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Rising 7th Grade Student, Reading is a very important part of your experience at Dalton, and we hope that each of you will become a life-long pleasure reader.
