Summer 2026 Reading
Students, if you need a paper copy of the book list, please ask your ELA teacher.
Read! Read books and materials that you like and that are at a comfortable reading level. To find digital reading materials, please visit Sora and/or the resources listed below. If you have physical books at home and/or can get to the library over the summer, that’s great too. The most important thing is that you are reading, reading, reading this summer!
