NHS Summer 2025 Reading Program
Dear Newmark High School Parents,
Our 2025 Summer Reading Program is designed to help students strengthen their reading comprehension skills while fostering a love for reading. Each year, students are encouraged to select a high-interest novel to make reading an enjoyable and engaging experience. Students can read as many books as they like over the summer.
This year, all students—whether or not they are attending ESY—are required to read one book from the provided reading lists.
- Students attending ESY will have the opportunity to select their book in advance. Copies of the chosen book will be available in the English classroom on the first day of ESY.
- Students NOT attending ESY are expected to purchase their book from a bookstore of their choice.
During the first weeks of school, students will complete a required English class assignment based on the book they read. They will choose from a variety of creative options on a choice board, including writing a diary entry, designing a collage, creating a soundtrack, compiling a book of poetry or writing a letter to the author. This assignment will be graded and count toward their first-quarter English grade.
Please have your teen bring in their summer reading book on the first day of school, Thursday, September 4, 2025.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us.
Sincerely,
Mr. Conor Walton, English Teacher - CWalton@newmarkeducation.com
Mrs. Lori Loper, English Teacher - LLoper@newmarkeducation.com
