1 O. HENRY MIDDLE SCHOOL May 11, 2012 Dear Parents(s)/Guardian(s) and Students: The purpose of the summer reading program is to provide students the opportunity to select works of literary merit from lists compiled by the O. Henry English Department and the campus librarian. The teachers and librarian have made every effort to choose titles that are enjoyable and worthwhile. We hope to encourage reading for pleasure as well as reading to develop critical thinking skills. Rather than an inclusive list of titles, the list should be thought of as a starting point for summer reading. The titles are diverse in content and reading level; they represent a variety of genres and a balance of classical and contemporary literature, and provide a range of books in terms of reading ability within each age appropriate level. Please assist your child with making book selections that are suitable for his/her emotional and ability level. Extra credit assessment of summer reading will take place during the first six weeks of school and will include writing and/or speaking assignment. We wish you and your child a happy summer of reading! Also, please check out the O. Henry Library website: for summer reading book trailers, lists, ideas, and fun links. Also, Book People (6 th and Lamar) has a summer reading program. For more details, go to: O. Henry 8th grade Pre-AP ELA students are required to choose one book from the Challenge (AP) Book list and one book from the O. Henry Recommended Book list to read during the school year. If students wish to get a head start on this required reading, please go to the links on the home page of the O.Henry Library website home page for these lists: Sincerely, Sharon Stockbauer Sharon Stockbauer English Department Chairperson Sara Stevenson Sara Stevenson Librarian 2610 WEST 10 TH STREET AUSTIN, TX Phone: (512) Fax: (512)
2 O. HENRY MIDDLE SCHOOL SUMMER READING LIST 2009 Instructions: The O. Henry English department suggest that students who are enrolled in Pre- AP courses next year select at least THREE of the titles from the list below. Students who are enrolled in Regular English next year should select at least TWO of the titles. During the first six weeks of school next year, teachers will offer an extra credit project based on your summer reading. Please feel free to select titles from any of the levels! The secret to summer reading is that you enjoy it! READ! READ! READ!
