Every June, I send home a letter for parents of my next year's class of 6th graders. On the first day of school, 2016, we'll have something to talk about, something in common, even if the tweens just do a few of these stay-sharp summer activities. The reading list is at the core, a bit different each year and designed to provide a wide range of genres and levelssomething to appeal to every kid. Dear 6th Grade Parents, I look forward to meeting everyone in the fall. In the meantime, heres some information to digest over the summer. First, a subject dear to my heart - literature! It is impossible to overstate the importance of reading. So, in 6th grade, as childrens author Gary Paulsen says, we will read like a wolf eats.
