BMS Summer Reading
Summer Reading 2018
One goal of the Barrington Middle School is to assist your child in becoming a lifelong reader. The summer months provide the perfect opportunity to enrich your child’s reading experiences.
This summer all middle school students entering grades six, seven, or eight, are required to read two (2) books, one that is nonfiction and the other one fiction. The nonfiction title must be chosen from one of the options, according to the grade the student is entering, on the nonfiction list. Each grade’s books are organized according to reading level from most to least difficult. The fiction book for each grade is the first novel in the curriculum unit for Trimester One. Our goal is to have all students prepared, having read the first required novel, when they enter school in August. This allows teachers to begin discussions, activities, and lessons based upon the commonly read novel.
All Summer Reading documents are available online at the Barrington Public Schools Homepage under STUDENTS/PARENTS. Click on Summer Learning and then find 6-8. Hover over Summer Reading and click on the appropriate grade. You can also find the documents on the Middle School website. From the homepage under “Learning” click on “BMS Library Home.” Then click on the "Welcome Page" button. The link to Summer Reading is in the center box at the top of the page under the blue tabs.
The direct link for grade 6 is: http://bps-summerlearning.weebly.com/summer-reading-entering-grade-6.html
Both Barrington Public Library and Barrington Books have been notified of all the titles on the BMS Summer Reading List.
Happy Summer Reading!
