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 over the summer. 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.

Below is a list of recommended/suggested titles for those students or parents that would like a guideline to help get started. Again, students may choose a book not on this list; these are merely grade-level suggested texts. Accessibility to texts is crucial, so here are a few options for obtaining copies of these titles.
