Dear Raider,

Research has shown that regular reading has a positive impact on a student’s standardized test scores and it boosts the likelihood of an individual’s academic and economic success.  In order to be more successful in high school, it is recommended that you read 25 books per year.  Summer is a great time to diversify your reading and explore different genres of books.  During your summer break, you are required to read a minimum of two (2) books. One must come from the designated grade level or advanced placement list; the second may also come from the list or be a choice of your own.
