Summer Reading List and Assignment

Maintain your intellect and gain additional literary perspectives with this summer’s reading list!

There is value to reading for even just 20 minutes each day - the idea is to make reading a habit.

Why do students love summer reading assignments?

● To build reading habits and improve reading speed and comprehension

● To bond with other students in your grade who are reading the same books

● To give students a strong foundation to begin the 2024-25 school year

● To produce an examination of your ideas with confidence and speak knowledgeably in classroom discussions
