UMHS Summer Reading 2021

for incoming and current UMHS students

Requirements for Summer Reading 2021

Every UMHS student is required to choose one of the books for their grade level or to follow the specific directions for the course they are entering in the Fall.


Assignments are given for each grade level or course listed. Please click on the image to find the expectations and assignment.


Students are certainly encouraged to read additional books of their choice that are not on the list OR multiple titles from the grade level's list. This, however, is not a requirement.

CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS:

Upon their return to school, students will engage in small and large group discussion focused on their book of choice. Teachers will also utilize the summer reading titles as an opportunity to gain a sense of students' writing ability as they are assigned writing activities linked to the title they have read.
