Summer Reading for High School Students Preparing for College
Enjoying a good book!
High School takes up a lot of students’ time. There isn’t much free time for pleasure reading. But did you know that reading helps increase vocabulary, learn something new and encourages relaxation. Make time during breaks to read something…………anything!
Summer is fast approaching, and it is the perfect time to select some books to read on the beach or on vacation. With the volume of homework that students must manage all year, it can be hard to find time to read for pleasure. Remember the joy you get from reading a riveting story and not wanting to put it down? Summer or school break is the perfect time to reach for the reading list and pick a book that may challenge your mind or can simply take you off into the world of fantasy. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Pinterest all have lists of books in any genre worth checking out.
Here are 10 of my favorite books I share with students:
Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
Educated by Tara Westover
Evicted by Matthew Desmond
Lab Girl by Hope Jahren
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley
Breathe and Count Back from Ten by Natalia Sylvester
