To some people, summer reading is a must. To others, it’s unnecessary and a big hassle. Some adults believe that every single student should have to read multiple books over the summer so that they do not lose any progress they have made throughout the school year. This is understandable. To read a few books over the summer and do projects to go along with them may not look so bad from an instructor’s point of view.
On the other hand, it can be very inconvenient for the students and their families. Whether they are traveling or just trying to relax during their time off, it puts a lot of pressure on them to get them all finished and ready before school starts. Kids and their families look at summer as a time to relax and not have to worry about schoolwork or anything.
There are a few possible solutions. Every kids wish would to not have to complete summer reading at all. Compromising would be more realistic. A good solution would be to have each student read one book of their choice (within reason) over the summer and then do a book report on it. This would compromise not having to read multiple books over the summer and keeping up their reading level over the summer.
