Smartie Reader Pants: Summer Novel Challenge!

Cooper Library is offering students an optional summer reading opportunity. This is all about having fun reading what you want to read this summer! In the “Full Guide” linked below are detailed instructions as well as suggested reading lists for all grade levels. This is a two-part challenge: read whatever you want (within the program perimeters) and then create a 2-minute book talk (like a trailer for a book) which you will either email to or present in-person to Ms. Wolfson in September.

Google may be an excellent tool for quick overviews and consumer reviews, but it prioritizes what is popular, not what is accurate. We need to internalize this! Free internet search engines such as Google give users an overabundance of information highlighting popularity over fact. This Padlet of Librarian-curated digital resources is a great place for students go for credible, reliable information.
