Dear Northwest School Parents/ Guardians,

In an effort to keep our NISD students engaged in literacy throughout the summer, secondary students are strongly encouraged to read at least one book of their choice. It is important that students are reading books for enjoyment, where they are choosing books they personally relate to and can make deep connections with. We also encourage students to select books that are appropriate and substantial enough for the grade they are entering.

Our main purpose for summer reading is for our students to read a book of their choice that they are interested in to continue to foster the love of reading, strengthen reading fluency and stamina, and build upon the idea that reading is important all year round.
