English Department Summer Reading

Statement on Summer Reading:  Families/Caregivers should review the titles listed at each grade level with your student(s) and collaboratively select books that are the best choice for your student/family. 

All students in grades 9-12  will read two books this summer. 

1. Book 1: Students will select one book from the Grade Level Book List.  Students are encouraged to take notes/annotate while they read and must complete this Google form when they finish the book.              

2. Book 2: All students in grades 9-12 will read at least one Choice Book and complete this Google form upon completion. The choice book can be any book of interest. 

Please note:  

• All students are expected to submit the Google Form for both books before the start of the school year. In addition, all students will engage in a learning experience in ELA class (formative assessment) with the required and choice book.

• All MHS students participate in Poetry Out Loud and deliver a poetry recitation in English class.  Learn more about Poetry Out Loud here.
