NPHS Language Arts Summer Reading 2025
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
To encourage authentic and engaging summer reading this year, if you are enrolled in any level course 9-12 (except AP; see below), your summer reading will be entirely your choice as far as texts being selected. The New Providence Language Arts Department and the Media Center have collaborated to provide a Choice Board; you will find different categories, genres, and types of reading. Choose two books of your liking/preferences from the categories. When you get to school next year, you will write about your two books. Please do not read these books since the titles will be read for class. At the end of this page, you will find links to summer reading resources. Here is a link to the Summer Reading Choice Board 2025 (Google Doc, student sign in) Choice Board in PDF (no sign in required)
