This summer we’d like you to do as much reading as you can. Reading will
keep your mind active and help ensure that you are ready for the beginning

ASSIGNMENT 1:

For Fourth Grade Summer Reading you are required to read

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. If you have already read
this book, we’d like you to read it again as you complete the literature log
activities included in this packet.

As you read the book, complete the questions and activities in the attached
literature log. Do these as you read each section. Please do not wait until
you’ve read the entire book to look at this log. The thorough and accurate
completion of this log will be your book project for the summer. It will be
graded, and we will complete some class activities to go along with
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the beginning of the school year.

This packet should be turned in on the 1st day of school.

ASSIGNMENT 2:
Towards the end of the summer, read a chapter book of your choice that
you’d like to do an assignment on when you return to school. Have your
parents help you pick out a book that isn’t too hard, but is slightly
challenging. Your teacher will have you use this book to complete an
assignment when you return to school in August.
