Washington High School

The WHS English Department recommends reading during the summer months. Hopefully, students choose to read many books this summer, but students are ENCOURAGED to read one, grade-level book suitable for an English class assignment that will be scored for a grade the first month of the 2021-22 school year. Students may choose a non-fiction or fiction book, including graphic novels. English teachers suggest students complete one of the posted reading response logs prior to the first quarter assignment. The response log will connect the reading details to the assignment and promote student success.

The goal is for students to continue reading throughout the summer.
