**All 7thGrade Students
The Reading Department at Brink Junior High has established a summer reading program for all 7th grade students. Our students’ summer reading will help them maintain their reading skills, improve their writing proficiency, and gain knowledge of new vocabulary and concepts. It is our belief that reading comprehension is an indicator of future success in education. Consistent practice will enable a student to thoroughly gain a strong reading competency.
