Jericho High School
Summer Reading List 2020-2021
Please choose one or more books from the list below.
We know that frequent reading is one of the best ways to improve academic success. In this spirit, every summer we ask you to read books for enjoyment. This summer, you will choose books from the selection on this page and read as many as you like before the first day of school.
You will need to obtain books on your own—through a bookstore, a friend, the library. If you foresee a problem with this, contact your English teacher right away. They will answer all your questions.
We hope you have a safe and healthy summer!
