North Clarion County School District

2019-2020 Summer Reading Requirement

*Leaning Support Students*

The more students read, the better readers and writers they become.  Reading is also the most powerful tool available for building vocabulary and improving comprehension. 

Students going into 8^th, 9^th and 10^th grade in the fall are REQUIRED to read an AR book over the summer.  They must also take an AR test.  This can be scheduled during the summer or completed when they return to school.  Please help remind your child to read their book prior to the start of the school year.    

Students entering 8^th & 9^th grade:

• Read one book of your choice.  The book may be at your reading level and NOT grade level.  Please email Ms. Lawrence or contact her on the Remind App if you’d like to know your child’s reading level. 
• Try and find a book that is at least 100 pages, but this is not required. 
• If you’re curious about the level of a book, you can search it’s level on arbookfind.com

Students entering 10^th grade:

Academic English – Read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

• The AR quiz number is 533. 
• There is an audio version on YouTube.  If listening, students should be following along in a book.
