"Required Reading"- Selected-responses

Our school requires that students read two books during the summer.

Both books chosen have won Newbery Medals.

I actually know students who have read them both and liked them.

When we read books in class, we can talk about them every day.

Reading is an important skill, and I am willing to work hard to get better.

However, the requirement should just be to read, without specifically which titles have to be read.

If the rule were to read two books of our choosing, it would be better.

Students who found books that were great for them might end up reading three books, or four, or ten.

Reading is a valuable skill, and most students are willing to work hard to improve.

Students agree that reading is an important skill, but they want to relax on vacation.

The books the school has chosen are good, but some students have already read them.

Summer is supposed to be a break from school, and students may forget what they need.
