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.
