Bellevue Middle School Summer Reading List 2010

 

 

Dear Parents & Students,

The Memphis City Schools English/Language Arts Scope and Sequence and Curriculum Map Instructional Guide has identified reading as an integral part of the learning for all students. The books below are recommended for your student to read during the summer. Students will review the books upon returning to school for the 2010-2011 academic year. Each book will be a part of your student’s first 9-week exam.  You may obtain the selected reading material from any public library, purchase a new copy from a local bookstore or internet source, purchase a used copy from a local bookstore or internet source, borrow a copy from a friend or family member; purchasing from area stores such as Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, K-Mart, Ike’s, Target, and others. The books should be read and completed by the end of the first 9-weeks of school.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and interest in your child’s learning.
