Get ready. Get set. Read!
Summer is a wonderful time to engage in exploration and new experiences outside the traditional classroom. One of the most important habits to develop is a love of reading; therefore, we feel it is vital for students to continue reading throughout the summer. Summer reading is an opportunity for students to be curious about new topics, to dive into books, and to let their imaginations soar.
We expect summer reading to look different for each individual student. We understand that students have a variety of interests and strengths when it comes to reading; therefore, we support student choice.
Prior to the beginning of the school year, sixth graders are expected to read one book which is an English assignment while seventh and eighth graders are expected to read two books: one for history class and one for English class. Early in the school year, teachers will host conversations around these books.
Families should purchase a copy of the books either online or through a local bookseller.
In addition to the summer readings noted, we encourage students to read other books, articles, or blogs that interest them. What is most important is that students are curious, explore their passions, and read.
