Attleboro High School Summer Literacy 2024

Purpose:

We highly recommend that all of our students read throughout the summer.  Reading for at least 30 minutes a day has many proven benefits. Read a book, the news, a magazine (print or digital), or anything else of substance on a topic of interest. 

Our Summer Literacy Recommended Reading lists offer a diverse array of books designed to reach our entire school community.  While students are free to select their own texts, we’ve included recommendations to encourage students to engage with next year’s grade level themes of identity, systems, change, and purpose. 

Students are encouraged to select texts that align with their specific grade level theme and reflect on that theme by completing an activity from the Project List. All students should read this summer; however, unlike in previous years, students will not be required to submit their summer literacy work to their advisor. The activities herein are enrichment and, therefore, optional; yet participating in these activities will extend your learning, lend insight into the learning to come next year, and reinforce skills you already have. 

Notice:

Although the books on the Recommended Reading lists are appropriate for high school students, families should be aware that some books/movies contain adult topics with adult language and/or controversial material. Different families have different perspectives on what is most appropriate for their student so please review these books carefully before deciding which ones are most appropriate for your child.
