Between books to enjoy over the summer to some of the classics, we’ve put together a few different lists for students to stay engaged during the off months and after school. Some of these may be required as assignments with the goal to provide a basis of knowledge for discussion as we compare author’s styles, techniques, and connect to the plot of books read in class.
Assignments for the start of school
Summer Reading for Incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th grades
6th Grade
Summer Reading Assignment
For the summer students will read two novels that will be used throughout the 6th grade year in the English and Literature subject areas with an assignment to complete before the first day of school.

Summer Reading Assignment
For this assignment students will read two separate readings that will correspond to the curriculum taught in the English and Literature for 7th Grade and are asked to write two typed responses to bring to class.
8th Grade
Summer Reading Assignment
This summer, we are assigning all incoming 8th graders to read one book and after finishing the novel, complete a two-page typed essay responding to a prompt described further in the link below.
