Summer Reading List |
||
| The English Department encourages students to read as many of the appropriate books on the following list over the summer. These books, which correspond to major themes or units that are emphasized in grades 9 through 12, prepare students for further reading and exploration of these themes during the school year. Students will not be tested on these books. We encourage parents/guardians to participate in this activity with their children. | ||
