Provides a common experience for all NCS Secondary students in grades 7 through 12.
Establishes English course expectations for reading which include keeping the students’ reading ability sharp over the summer months and providing a foundation for thematic study.
Encourages students to explore the opportunities to learn through reading books that highlight the style, expectations, and content of their upcoming English courses.

Summer Reading Assignment
The Northlake Christian Secondary English Department requires all students to read ONE novel over the course of the summer. The assigned novel, which can be obtained either in paper form or on a personal reading device, is based on the class the student will be entering the next school year. As they read, each student will complete a Reading Log by closely following the attached instructions. The Reading Log will be turned in on the first day of the student’s first English class. Students will take a test on the novel during the first week of class.
