Introduction
Summer vacation provides a wonderful opportunity for you to continue to develop and maintain your reading skills. The reading list for this summer includes eleven short stories that can be found altogether in one book. Choose five stories from this list. The book is titled Literature Works, A Collection of Readings for third grade. The glossary will help you with unfamiliar words. This book must be returned to school in September along with the assignments on the first day of school.
God bless your effort.
