Summer Reading 2018 Byram Hills High School

While shared texts typically populate the landscape of the English classroom, we believe that recreational reading plays an equally important role in the development of critical thinking, empathy, and self-awareness. During the academic year, students make quarterly independent reading selections. Over the summer, we ask that students continue to immerse themselves in high-interest reading material.

Independent Reading Assignment: Grades 9-12

All BHHS students should complete a minimum of two independent reading selections during the summer vacation. For assistance locating appropriately challenging reading material, please consult the list of suggested titles (links provided at the bottom of the page). In addition, we highly recommend that students discuss book selections with teachers, librarians, and parents. Students should be prepared to discuss and/or write about these selections during the first week of school.

Required texts for Advanced Courses:

Note: For all advanced courses, students should read the required text and a minimum of one additional independent reading selection.

English 11 AP

Required for students taking English 11 AP
