Summer Reading Requirements for the 2013 - 2014 School Year
Parents and Students:
Over the summer, all Wilson Area High School students will be required to
complete reading assignments. It is important for students to continue to
develop the reading skills that they have learned. As with many skills in
life, continued practice leads to continued success. Taking a break from
reading may unfortunately cause students to lose ground in their learning.
The English Department at Wilson Area High School encourages students to read
widely and daily. It is our hope that students will read many more books than
simply the ones that are required, which are listed below.
