NHS Summer 2021 Reading Program

All Newmark High School students are required to participate in the summer reading program.  Books and assignments may vary by reading level.  A detailed Summer Reading packet was mailed home in early June with customized information.

Our summer reading program is designed to give students an opportunity to strengthen their reading comprehension skills.  Each year, students are encouraged to choose a novel that is of high interest with the objective of finding reading enjoyable.  Below is a list of suggested works; however, students may select a book of their choosing.
 

For Students Attending ESY
The summer during the ESY program, your teen will be assigned a novel based on their Lexile reading level, which connects learners with resource at the right level of reading challenge.

In order to connect learners with resources at the right level of reading challenge, students will select a book based on their Lexile reading range.  On the sidebar you will find a Lexile chart that corresponds to your child’s readiness. Students should select a novel based on their expressed interests and Lexile reading level either from the attached works or a novel of their own choosing. Students are required to select one book, but are encouraged to read as many as they like.  Please note that widely published novels are written between a Lexile score of 850L – 950L to appeal to a greater audience.  It is more important students enjoy the work they have chosen rather than reading exactly at their Lexile level.

After reading the book, students are required to turn in a text to self-project, character head or a video commercial on the first day of school in the fall, Tuesday, September 7, 2021.  The project or review will be graded and counted toward their first quarter English grade.  Project options include: Text to self-project, Character head or a Video commercial.
