English Department Summer Reading
Statement on Summer Reading: Families and Caregivers should review the titles listed at grade level and make a selection in collaboration with your student in order to make the best choice for your student/family.
All students in grades 9-12 will read two books this summer.
Book 1: Students will select one book from the Grade Level Book List. All students must complete this Google form when they finish the book. Students are encouraged to take notes. Upon your return to school in the fall, you will engage in a learning experience in your ELA class using this book.
Book 2: All students in grades 9-12 will select and read at least One Choice Book, and complete this Google form upon completion. The choice book can be any book of interest.
