1 Valley View High School Honors Summer Reading Program School Year One of the greatest abilities we possess as humans is the ability to read. Reading opens our minds to many different worlds worlds we otherwise might not have the opportunity to explore. Therefore, it is the objective of the Valley View High School Honors Summer Reading Program to help further develop students reading comprehension skills while also exposing them to a number of classic and contemporary classic titles. For the school year, all students enrolled in the Honors and AP English classes will read titles which frequently appear on the AP Literature Exam. Students will be tested upon return to school in the fall. The test will count as part of the first quarter grade for English. Study guides are provided to help students prepare for the assessment, and students are strongly encouraged to take notes within the books while reading. Students WILL BE allowed to use their annotated texts during the assessment. Please be aware that all titles are available for purchase in local bookstores and online. In addition, links to guided reading questions for many of the titles can be found on the district website, valleyviewsd.org, under Summer Reading.
