9th Grade Summer Reading
9th Grade Summer Reading Dear Students, I am greatly looking forward to next year, and I hope you are as well. However, in order to get ready for next year, there are a few things to do over the summer – Summer Reading. All students entering the 9th grade will need to read “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom. A test will be given over the book on August 17. The test will check for completion of the reading as well as comprehension. You will also choose one of the following books to read. Students will take an AR test over this book on August 20. Some of these books have sequels that students may want to read for future AR test. “Jacob Have I Loved” by Katherine Paterson “The Pigman” by Paul Zindel “A Day No Pigs Would Die” by Richard Newton Peck The school will not be providing the student with a copy of the books. You will be responsible for finding a copy of the books you choose to read. You may borrow or buy a copy, but it will not be needed for classroom purposes.
Pre-AP
Students taking Pre-AP English must also read “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. Be ready to take a test over the book on August 22nd. The test will check for completion of the read-ing as well as comprehension. It will be the first piece of literature we will study as the new school year resumes. I hope you have a great summer, and I look forward to getting to know each of you better next year. If you have any questions over the summer, please feel free to email me! Sincerely, Mrs. Arnold [email protected]
