Summer Reading Program. Reading in the summer: recommendations from experienced teachers

From this article you will learn:

Conscientious teachers should give their students summer book list in reading and literature. And responsible and inquisitive students should read it from A to Z. In fact, it turns out that at the end of the school year, many teachers who are wrapped up in the end forget to do this. And if, nevertheless, the treasured list ends up in the hands of children, the latter, for the most part, safely throw it away until better times. But now August begins - and then parents are already connected, asking the poor child if he has read anything. If you've lost your list, don't worry. We will help you restore it.

Naturally, our summer reading list will be exemplary. There is no single list approved by the Ministry of Education. However, what you will find here is as close as possible to the age characteristics of students by grade and those literature programs that they will have to study in the new academic year. A few helpful tips to help you get the most out of them:

  • do not look for lists specifically for the programs "School of Russia", "2100", Korovina, Kurdyumova, Belenky, etc.: they all almost duplicate each other;
  • no need to try to read the entire list in its entirety: you need to choose what will be interesting to the child: the list was created in order to orient in the world of literature;
  • we advise you to keep a reader's diary every day, writing down the author, the title of the book and the number of pages read per day;
  • it is advisable not to download books in electronic formats so as not to spoil your eyes when reading: now you can easily purchase very beautiful publications in stores or take them from the library;
  • if the book is of a regular format, then it is very easy to calculate the reading rate per day: add a zero to the class into which the child is moving. That is, a first grader needs to read 10 pages a day, and a 10th grader needs to read at least 100.

Very often there is confusion with classes. To find summer reading list from one class to another, the list should be for the next class. That is, if you have completed the 3rd grade, you are no longer a third grader - accordingly, the list should be looked at already for the 4th grade.

Life hack. In order to remember the plot of the book, after each read work, it’s good to watch a cartoon or a feature film based on it.


In elementary school, everyone has now switched to the Federal State Educational Standard, different programs are being introduced in different schools: “School of Russia”, “Perspective”, “Primary School of the 21st Century”, “Perspective Primary School”, “Planet of Knowledge”, “Elkonin and Davydov System” , "Rhythm", "Primary innovative school". However, the course of literary reading in all these systems is aimed at one thing - to instill a love for books in young students. Therefore, they need to study reading in the summer so much. Our lists will only help them with this.

Lists of books for the summer for students of any class should not be a duty or obligation. It should be an interesting, exciting journey into the world of art. And for high school students, the incentive should be the desire to successfully pass the final exams. And without reading it is simply impossible.

Summer is a great time to read! Some children are happy to read on their own, others agree to do this only because their mother does not allow them to play on the tablet until they have read a few pages. Almost all children, willy-nilly, read books from the list that was given out at school as a task for the summer. So, what should you read in the summer after finishing 2nd grade?

Should a child who has moved to grade 3 read the same works in the summer that he will then study at school during the school year? This is up to the parents. There is no need for this, since the works are not so large and the children have time to read them quite well during the school year. If you think that it will be boring for a child to clean the same thing a second time, then it is all the more better to choose other works by the same writers, or books recommended for children 8-9 years old for extracurricular reading.

Summer has come! That means getting enough sleep, going to the beach, and reading your terrible summer reading list. We all have friends who procrastinate all the time and then try to get everything done in the last panic-filled week before the start of the new school year. But if you make a plan and stick to it, you can avoid stress and read everything on time, while still having enough time to rest and enjoy your holidays. In this article, you'll learn how to plan your reading list for the summer and how to stick to it. You'll also learn how to read faster and how to deal with that reading list!

Steps

Part 1

Planning

    Make a list of the main literature. Go through your list or lists and figure out which books you need to read over the summer. Then make a list with the title of each book, as well as the number of pages in each book. Finally, read the dust jacket or look it up on the Internet and find a synopsis of each book to get an idea of ​​what they are about.

    • You can mark the books you like with a tick or a plus sign, and uninteresting books with a circle or a minus sign. When planning your reading schedule, alternate between books you want to read and uninteresting books. If you put all the books you don't like to the end, you will almost certainly not be able to read them all.
  1. Make your own list. If you haven't been given a reading list for the summer but feel like you want to do some reading and refresh your mind or prepare for college, you can make your own reading list. Ask your teacher or librarian for help.

    Get the books you need to read. If you are going to buy books from the list, order them as soon as possible. If you are going to borrow books from the library, remember that they may not be available when you need them, so start reading early and reorganize your list based on what books are available.

    • Consider swapping books with classmates. It will take a little more planning, but it will cost you absolutely free.
    • Consider purchasing digital versions of books so you can always read them on your e-book or phone.
  2. Define your productivity style. Are you coping with the task in stages or trying to catch everything at the last moment? You can't magically change your productivity style, especially over the summer, so make a plan that works for you.

    Make a reading schedule. Take a notepad or calendar that shows the days until the start of the school year. If you have weekends or other special events planned, mark them on your calendar. You may still be able to read these days, but that may not be enough. Then decide on the order in which you will read the books and schedule based on your productivity style.

    • If you approach the task in a calm and methodical manner, plan to read a set number of pages per day. Count the total number of pages you need to read and the number of days left, and then divide the pages by days. Write this value in your calendar and try to read it every day.
    • If you tend to procrastinate and do a bunch of work, then it's best to set a deadline for each book. For example, you might plan to read The Old Man and the Sea no later than July 1st, Fahrenheit 451 by July 20th, and so on. You should still try to read every day, but even if you have to stay up late to read all the books the day before, at least they will be read.
  3. Stimulus. A good way to force yourself to complete a difficult task is to come up with a reward for completing the various stages of this task. Think of things you can reward yourself with each time you read a book or complete a list. For example, you might go to the movies, buy a new CD, or take a day off to play video games.

    Don't waste time. If you miss a schedule or miss a deadline, your work can quickly pile up to the point where it's next to impossible to complete. If you start falling behind, cancel other activities if necessary and catch up as soon as possible. You will thank yourself in August.

    Ask for help. If there are words in your books that you don't know the meaning of, don't guess them. Look them up in a dictionary! If you're having trouble understanding the plot of a book, ask around and see if anyone you know has read it and can help you, or find a study guide online or in a library.

    • The manual is very useful, but it does not replace the actual reading of the book.
  4. Find a reading buddy. If you know someone who reads the same book, meet a few times to discuss what you've read and compare your notes. After you both finish reading, consider watching the most recent film adaptation of the book, if there is one. You will be able to discuss how the movie differs from the book, what you liked best and sympathize with the ordeal you both went through.

    Enjoy reading! It's hard to force yourself to enjoy a mandatory task, but don't forget that most of the books on the list were chosen for their exclusivity. Ignore the fact that you were forced to read the books on the list and try to enjoy the experience. You may be pleasantly surprised at how fun and interesting this homework assignment is.

Part 3

How to learn to read faster

    Create a positive reading environment. It is quite difficult to read faster when you are uncomfortable and constantly distracted. Reading in a quiet place with good lighting will help you better focus on the book and remember what you read. Then you won't have to spend too much time re-reading it all over again. Turn off the TV, put your tablet aside, and mute your phone. Then make sure you have adequate lighting and a comfortable reading chair.

  1. Use the pointer. While reading, your eyes constantly move quickly and every time you change focus, you have to find the right place in the text again and again, and this takes valuable time. Use your index finger or piece of paper as a pointer to fix this problem. Just place your pointer under the line of text you're currently reading, then keep moving it down.

    • At first, you may feel like the pointer is only slowing you down, but once you get used to it, you will notice a dramatic improvement in your reading speed.

For the little ones

Elena Nikolaevna NIKLYAEVA, primary school teacher, school No. 61 named after. N.M. Ivanova, warns: reading for a child should not be a punishment.

When a kid draws up a reader's diary with his parents, discusses what he has read with them, a taste for reading appears. The school, in turn, motivates with good grades. The books on the summer lists are recommended books, at parental discretion. You can choose something from the list of works and add your own options or read the whole thing. The list for the first grade begins with folklore texts, ends with stories about children and animals, and we can observe a similar sequence in the lists for the second, third, and fourth grades. There is also a "thread" of key authors, which include Tolstoy, Dragunsky, Bianki: their works are studied from the first to the fourth grades.

The youngest students also fill in the reader's diary: as Elena Niklyaeva explained, its maintenance is most often assessed by the teacher, because in addition to reading lessons, there is also such a subject as extracurricular reading.

The design of the diary varies depending on the age of the child. This is a regular notebook, there is no printed version. We offer first-graders in our school to simply write down the author of the work and its title, draw illustrations, maybe sculpt crafts from plasticine - the forms of work are the simplest. Then journaling becomes more difficult. Second grade students are already answering questions about what they have read and making up their own, highlighting the topic and main idea of ​​the book. In the third grade, students work with a dictionary, write out unfamiliar words from the text, draw on personal experience: for example, when opening a book about animals, they write down what they already know about them, and after reading they write a short review. In the fourth grade, these reviews become small essays. The reader's diary can be kept both in the summer and throughout the school year.

Technological progress has also reached children's reading: even first graders often no longer read books, but listen to them.

Reading is, first of all, a child's communication with a book, an individual activity, - said Elena Niklyaeva.- But listening to an audiobook is also allowed if the child is on a trip. An e-book format is also possible. Of course, this is an extreme measure, but there are times when the school library does not have the book you need, and in the district library they can give it only for ten days, after which you either need to renew the subscription or return the book. If the family goes on vacation, it is very inconvenient. The recommendation here is unequivocal: the main thing is to get acquainted with the work, and on paper or electronic, is another question.

Rule 1

Remember that a book is not a punishment. You can not interrupt the child's game by ordering to urgently read the book, because it was asked to be read at school. It is important that the child wants to read.

To do this, parents or teachers in extracurricular time use various techniques. For example, an adult begins to read - asks the child to continue reading; asks to read a small text under the picture, the rest of the text is read by an adult; they read the book with the whole family (dad starts, mom continues, the child finishes).

Rule 2

Rule 3

Rule 4

On long trips (by car, train, plane), invite your child to listen to an audiobook. Discuss with him which of the characters he liked, would he (she) still listen to the book of this author.

(If you really want to...)

The information read in the works can be presented in the form of a "flight log", a "two-part diary". Flight logs are a generic name for various methods of teaching writing, according to which students write down their thoughts while studying a topic. When the logbook is used in its simplest form, students write down answers to the following questions before they read or otherwise study the material.

    What do I know about this topic? (Theme about nature, about animals, about the author, by name).

    What did I learn from the text? What do I remember? What surprised me?

Having met key points in the text, students enter them in their logbook. When reading, during pauses and stops, students fill in the columns of the logbook, linking the topic being studied with their vision of the world, with their personal experience. Carrying out such work, the teacher, together with the students, tries to demonstrate all the processes visibly, so that later the students can use it.

A two-part diary is a technique that allows the reader to link the content of the text with his personal experience. Double diaries can be used when reading a text in a lesson, but working with this technique is especially productive when students are given the task of reading a large text at home. He looks like this.
