Dear EC Student and Family,

High school summer reading is only required for students enrolled in AP English Language or AP English Literature. Please see the required reading novels below.

AP English Literature Required Summer Reading (two novels)

• "How to Read Literature Like a Professor (Revised)" by Thomas C. Foster (ISBN 978-0062301673)
• "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro (ISBN 978-1400078776)

AP English Language Required Summer Reading (one novel)

• "Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption" by Bryan Stevenson (ISBN 978-0812984965)

We encourage all other high school students to read books that interest, engage and challenge their thinking over the summer. Our High School English Department and Librarian Mr. Ammons created a suggested summer reading list that is entirely optional and complements our school year curriculum. Making connections across texts is an important reading skill, and the titles in the list will offer students opportunities to connect what they read over the summer to what they will read in the classroom next school year.

We will communicate additional textbook information for the 2023-24 school year in mid-July.

Sincerely,

Ms. Anderson

Director of Academic Operations
