A rationale for summer reading:

• To generate interest and pleasure in reading that enriches the educational experience

• To prepare for thoughtful reading and discussion upon return to class in the Fall

• To use time not available during the year to expand one’s reading repertoire

• To keep the mind active and engaged in learning new things

 

 

General Instructions:

• Use a journal during your summer reading to take notes about the main characters, main events, and portions of the book that made an impression on you.

• Make sure you have READ each of the books assigned in its entirety.

• You must read a minimum of 3 books this summer. There is 1 required text that you MUST read, and the other 2 books are to be of your choosing. In the table below you will see the required texts for your grade level.
