Dear EC Student and Family,
Students entering seventh and eighth grade in the 2023-24 school year have summer reading assignments. Students must read all novels by the first day of school: Wednesday, August 30. Students entering sixth grade do not have summer reading assignments.
Students may be assessed on summer reading through in-class discussions and assignments. Teachers may discuss the novels with students for one or two days, and some may be discussed for a month or more.
Students must bring a physical copy of their summer reading novel(s) on the first day of school.
Seventh Grade (two novels)
- For their second novel, students may choose to read one of the following:
- "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen (ISBN 978-0375825446)
- "Hello Universe" by Erin Entrada Kelly (ISBN 978-0062414168)
-
Please note: Seventh grade EMC students must choose "Flipped" for their second novel.
Eighth Grade (one novel)
Eighth grade students have a variety of books they can choose for summer reading. The choices are listed below, along with an Amazon link and, if available, a link to the Common Sense Media notes for families. If applicable, please read the notes to ensure the book your student selects aligns with their interests, values and reading level.
Students should select one book from the list below and read it before school begins. During the first few weeks of school, students will work on analytical assignments related to their book.
