As a Northside student, we ask that you read at least one novel of your choice this summer. By spending time reading, you will expand your vocabulary, give yourself examples of great writing, deepen your critical thinking skills, and build your focus and imagination.
There is no other assignment than to read and be ready to discuss your book when school starts.
The list below gives you some ideas of books that you might find interesting or give you a place to start looking. Remember, you can choose whichever book you wish to read - it does not have to be on the list below. The novels marked by an asterisk (*) indicate books on Northside’s approved book list. If you are interested in other titles not on the approved book list, we encourage you to do some research and speak with your family before selecting a title.
Please email Ana Nuñez at [email protected] with any questions.
You can check out digital books through your school’s library on Sora, Libby, or the San Antonio Public Library. Happy Reading!
*Summer reading is required for Advanced ELA in grades 6-8 but open to all students.
