Summer Reading Requirements for Students Entering Second Grade
Number of Pages: 150 to 300
Assessment:
Record reading data on the Berean Academy Reading Log (due
the first day of school).
Non-Fiction:
It is highly recommended that at least two selections be nonfiction. The current reading list does not include non-fiction
titles, so parents will need to choose age appropriate non-fiction
selections for their children.
Read Alouds:
An adult may read aloud up to 75 pages to the child, as long as
the selections are at least fourth-grade level.
New Students:
Students new to Berean Academy who enroll after July 15 will
have their number of pages reduced to 100. New students who
enroll close to the first day of school may have an alternative
set of guidelines established by the administration or faculty.
Selections:
The second page of this packet contains a list of recommended
books for this age group; however parents and students are
not limited to this list. To locate additional titles, visit
http://www.renlearn.com/store/ and click the “Quiz Search”
link. Enter a title or author in the search box to find the level of
the book. The level represents a rough correlation to school
grade equivalence. Students entering second grade should
read books at the 2.0 level or (preferably) higher.
