Summer Reading

All books read for summer reading must come from the appropriate grade level English Department list. Students who register late for Walt Whitman High School will receive additional time to complete at least one novel. The grade for the initial assessment(s) of summer reading will account for no more than five percent of the first quarter grade. Discussions of summer reading books may be embedded throughout the course.
