Summer Reading

By -


As we head into summer, the best way your child can help himself or herself academically is to read for fun over the summer!  As a parent if you could help them set aside time each day (even just 10 minutes!), that helps them prioritize reading, which can be hard to do with all the other fun available – video games, technology, sports, friend time, etc. Please help them have high-interest reading material in their hands. The better the reader they become, the more they can apply reading skills to EVERY subject. Please also consider participating in Sacred Heart's Scholastic contest!

Miss Rajewski and Mrs. Kelly would love to give reading recommendations! We also encourage using audio books, e-books, or graphic novels. The library has great options too.

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.
