Summer Reading List

It is important that students retain the skills they have acquired during the school year. Therefore, Westampton Township students who will enter kindergarten through eighth grade in the fall are required to complete the summer reading assignment for the grade level they will enter in September. The assignment includes reading one book and completing the corresponding activities. The book and the activities were chosen by the child's teacher for the upcoming school year and will be used to launch instruction. Parents can support their child by reading with them and ensuring that the activities are completed and ready to submit when the child arrives to school in September.

For more information as to the specifics of the assignment, please click on the Curriculum Page. This information was sent home with your child on the last day of school in their report card folders.
