8th Grade- Class of 2029
Hello incoming 8th graders!
Summer is a great time for reading, and we encourage you to read as many books as possible. We hope you even make time to do some reading that is not part of a school assignment!
You have many options for obtaining your summer reading books. You can buy them, check them out from a public library, or, if you are a returning student you can get them as ebooks through Sora.
If you are a returning student and would like more information on how to use Sora to check out ebooks for summer reading, make sure to visit the Sora page on this website.
Students must read a minimum of four books, including one from the list below. Please keep a note of books you have read in a Google Document and bring a hard copy of your list to school on the first day of term.
While these lists offer excellent recommendations, we also encourage you to take some time this summer to explore library shelves and visit bookstores. Discovering new books that ignite your passion for reading can be an exciting journey.
Wishing you a joyful summer of reading!
If you have any questions, or if you are not able to complete the reading before the start of school, email the Head of Middle School Humanities, Ms. Nieto, at mnieto@dwight.edu.
