English Department Summer Reading Assignment Rationale and Requirements
Based on the course/grade level, students may be required to complete a summer reading assignment prior
to the school year at the discretion of the grade-level/course team. It is important to foster essential reading
and writing skills over the summer to help students avoid summer reading loss. Research supports the use
of summer reading programs to help students hone their reading skills.
Summer Reading Program Goals:
● To help students maintain reading and writing skills over the summer and avoid summer reading
loss
● To prepare students for the next level of English curriculum and for the college experience
● To encourage students to become lifelong learners
Depending on the course/grade level, students could have up to
three books to read and may also need to complete an objective
assessment (multiple choice test) and/or a written assessment
based on the reading(s) at the start of the school year (date
determined by individual teacher). The assessment scores may be
entered as a quarter one assignment in the grade book.
Right: Students discuss Advanced Placement vocabulary words.
