text: Since I was in middle school I have been told that I had summer reading projects to do over my summer break. Summer reading is a teacher-designed project in which I choose a book off of a list, read it, and write an essay on so that they when I go back to school it could be graded by my teacher. Ever since Middle School students would do those projects so they wouldn't have a bad grade when they get back to school. They knew the summer reading project would get brought up and they wouldn't want to start of the new school year wrong. Summer reading helps students in English over the summer because they're reading a whole book and writing an essay on it after. That's basically the exactly same thing that we do in school! Teachers could guide the students through the emails and papers on how do to certain things meaning besides being face to face with the educator; your really just right back in class doing another project.
