Incoming 8th Grade Summer Reading Assignment 2012
As part of your preparation for eighth grade, we are requiring that you read four books during the summer. For your four books, you will need to complete a Student Book Review form (except for the religion reading). These forms will help prompt you for the AR Quiz that you will take within the first weeks of school.
Feel free to read more than the required books as well as any additional books of your choice. Students will be able to take AR tests to receive credit for their reading.
