Summer
should be filled with joyful times, and we hope that reading will be an
important part of your summer plans. Below is a required reading list
from which you can select a book. Students who are having difficulty
choosing a book should ask their teachers, a librarian, or the English
Department Chair for help.
Please note, each Regents and Honors level student entering grades 9-12 is required to read one of the books on the list. All students will be assessed on their summer reading in September.
Students entering English 2 Honors, Senior Experience, and Advanced Placement English courses have
different requirements. They will read the books that are designated
for their courses. AP and Senior Experience students will also be given
a writing assignment to complete over the summer. Enjoy the summer
with a good book!
