Hey Sound School! Ready to dive into your 2026 Summer Reading?

Getting your reading done this summer is as easy as 1-2-3. Here is your official Summer Reading Guide to keep you on track:

• Step 1 - Research: Find a fiction novel you'll actually enjoy! Just make sure it is text-only (no graphic novels), over 100 pages, and at or above your reading level.

• Step 2 - Read: Finish your book before the first day of school. Pro-tip: Take notes along the way on the parts that stand out to you!

• Step 3 - Write: When we get back in the fall, your new English teacher will give you an in-class essay prompt based on your book. This will be graded in PowerSchool, so don't wing it!

Need to find the perfect book? There's options:

• New Haven Free Public Library: Join their awesome summer program! Kickoff events start in early June.

• Free Ebooks: You have free access to tons of digital titles through MackinVia and Sora. You can find the links to both directly on our Library website

Enjoy a relaxing break this summer, happy reading, and set yourself up for success this fall!
