Dear Parents or Guardians:

The Special Education Department of Neshaminy High School is pleased to announce our summer reading program for incoming twelfth grade students. Studies have shown that students who continue to read during the summer are more perceptive readers, more expressive writers and more thoughtful speakers. Reading during the summer increases an awareness of the connection between reading for pleasure and reading for knowledge. Summer reading can help students become independent, life-long learners.

Students may select any literary title, 100 pages or longer, of interest that is not a required reading from another course. During the initial weeks of first marking period, students will earn a grade for an in–class writing assignment, thematically based, on their summer reading during first marking period.

Thank you for supporting the summer reading program. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about what he/she is reading. The books may be borrowed from our school library electronically (Over Drive), local libraries, or purchased at local bookstores.

Sincerely,

The Neshaminy High School Special Education and English Department
