Calling all new 5th graders for the 2008-2009 school year--here is the Reading Olympics List for the 2008-2009 school year.
This list is a great group of books to read, even if you don't want to participate. Books available in all public libraries. You can sign-up for Reading Olympics in the fall. Students strive to read as many books as possible. After every book read the students fill out the book summary sheet and use 3 index cards to write questions and anwers about the book-one question and answer (on the back) per book. Hope you plan to join the fun!
