Summer Reading

Summer Reading Passages - Close Reading contains four stories for your students to read, contemplate, and discuss for the summer season, the months of June, July, and August, summer holidays and summer vacation, and the days before it's time to go back to school in September. In this product you will find:

A Discussion Guide to help you lead a discussion about the stories with your students.
A Close Reading Short Stories handout to help your students read and comprehend each text.
Four three-page stories, including vocabulary to look up and learn, questions for contemplation and discussion, and a space for taking notes.
A New Word Log for students to use to keep track of the new words they have learned through these stories.

Stories included:

A Letter from Camp
At the Pool
The Beaver Pond
Last Day of Vacation

Close Reading is a central focus of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Students learn to immerse themselves in the text, think about what the author is saying, and pick out important details in the text in a methodical way.

I really appreciate your purchase, and I hope your students enjoy the stories! Have a super summer, a wonderful summer vacation, and a terrific return to the classroom in the fall!
