The goal of the Summer Reading Program is to engage ALL students in rigorous, high interest novels (chapter books) of THEIR choice. Throughout the summer, students will actively read a novel and participate in a reading/writing connection activity within the first grading period.
Summer Reading is Required For all ELA pre-AP students. All other students are highly encouraged to participate as it is the goal for all students to become better readers.
Select a chapter book of your choice on grade level from your home, public library, online, or at your local bookstore! You MAY NOT select a picture book, a book that you have read, or a book that was taught in your previous ELA classes. Summer reading novels need to be read by the end of August 2020.

There are no required assignments/projects for students to complete during the summer. However, when students return to school next year, their ELA teacher will have some reading/writing connections (i.e., foldables, news reports, cartoon/comic strips, brochures/pamphlets, webquests, illustrations, plot/character analysis, etc.) for them to complete to review the concepts of their novel. These will be formative daily grades. To organize your thoughts while reading you could use: https://goo.gl/enAqYm *
