2025 Grade 12 Regents Summer Reading – Extra Credit Assignment

The objective of summer reading for the students is to assist them in cultivating skills that have been built upon throughout their academic year. It is the hope that reading will strengthen and reinforce those skills that are vital to all aspects of academics and beyond. Students entering grade 12 are encouraged to read a book that is appealing to them and that they will enjoy. This is an extra credit assignment. We hope that this will foster the love of reading while still allowing students to strengthen their reading and comprehension skills.
