Dont let your year’s reading gains turn into summer subtractions. I highly recommend you get hold of books on audio at levels on or slighty above your grade level so that you can practice the strategies you learned this year, learn new vocabulary and grow your brain. Your Helena Public library has some terrific books from which to choose.
Some suggestions: Sports__Lupica, Dygard, Greene, Wallace, Meyers
Outdoor Adventure–Hobbs, London, Paulsen
Realistic fiction–Voit, Evangelista
and Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys mysteries
Tom Clancy’s and John Grisham’s kids series
Historical Fiction–Christopher P. Curtis, Sharon Draper and the dear America series
Get ready for the new Sherlock Holmes tv show read Sir Author Conan Doyle
