Summer Reading Lists
This summer, read as many books as you can. Read books you enjoy, and read a lot of them.
Log all of the books you read on your Summer Reading Log, then from all those books you read, you are asked to choose two books and complete the Summer Reading Assignment graphic organizer for each of them. Your Summer Reading and Summer Reading assignments are due to your English teacher on the first day of school. For this assignment, choose a book that is driven more by words than by pictures—not a graphic novel or a manga.
In addition to the Summer Reading Log and Summer Reading Assignment, be prepared at the start of the school year to explain what each book you read was about and what it meant to you. Below is a list of books that students have loved in the past broken down by grade level. Although there’s a good chance you will enjoy these books, too, you are not required to choose from this list.
Scholars who read at least 1,000 pages this summer will be invited to a brownies and ice cream party August 9, 2024 after school and will receive a certificate for their achievement.
If you are unfamiliar with the text, feel free to look up a summary of the book on Goodreads.com or Amazon.com.
