Summer Reading for Huntington High School Students

A regular diet of summer reading is essential for Huntington High School students, who should never be without a book. Whether to get a little bit ahead in their studies or just for pure fun and general enjoyment, summer reading is a must for all of the teenagers.

Huntington UFSD have reached out to parents for their support, asking them to encourage their child to pick up a book and read this summer. The district has always looked to parents as essential partners in education and the summer months are no different.

“This summer will provide time for your child to enjoy the pleasures of reading and we are happy to present several opportunities for this endeavor,” wrote Assistant Superintendent Brenden Cusack in a letter to parents. “Spending time reading will give your child structure during the day and will maintain reading as a priority as we transition to the new school year.”

A game board has been established for students to follow so they can explore cultural literary traditions in the form of folk tales and legends. Students in all grades can use the link below to access the reading opportunity during the summer months. Click here: https://oliver6thgradeskills.my.canva.site/summer-reading-gameboard

All Honors/AP summer assignments for English and Social Studies are found here:

Here you will find the teacher/course Google Classroom code. Students should sign up and actively check the site to find the recommended summer work.

An alternative is to participate in the Huntington Public Library’s summer reading program. Students will need a library card to access books at the public library. These cards are available at the village or station branch of the public library.

Students completing the suggested reading are also invited to respond in writing. This summer work will enable students to receive up to three points added to their first quarter English grade in the fall. The written work is explained on the gameboard site, under “re-Imagine.” Students can submit this for credit or their reading of the book can be for pure enjoyment with no written requirement.

“Our teachers encourage exploration of the joy of reading this summer,” Chairperson of Humanities Joseph Leavy said.
