| Students - Summer Reading Lists |
Posted Jun. 24, 2008 |
Reading is an important and indispensable skill for anyone who wishes to be successful in life, particularly students at every level of education. As a college preparatory school we feel that reading is a skill which needs to be mastered if students are going to achieve their fullest potential. While summer is primarily a time for students to rest and recharge for the coming school year, it is important that they maintain some connection to their academics. Below is a list of works we have chosen because of their literary merit and/or importance. This list is by no means comprehensive, however. Anything students read will be of benefit to them. We suggest that students read approximately 30 hours this summer. This translates into approximately ½ hour per day. There will not be any formal assignment due in September for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Therefore, we are encouraging you, the parents and guardians, to see to it that students include structured reading as part of their summer vacation.
Each Freshman is expected to complete a summer reading project before entering Saint Edmund Prep in the fall. We would suggest you encourage your son or daughter to read as many works as he/she is able to and feels compelled to read. A minimum of THREE books, however, must be read. For each of these three books the student should write a one-page reaction paper summarizing and discussing the major themes presented in the work. These summaries will be collected on the first full day of classes in September.
