8th Grade SUMMER READING (2024-25 School Year)

All families should have received communication from our DATA assistant principal, Mrs. Vallente, about summer reading assignments.  They are as follows:

  • GT:  The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.  If it is available to you, I highly recommend reading this novel along with the audiobook narrated by Allan Corduner.  This version is available on Audible by Amazon.  This is certainly not required, but the reading can become more enhanced listening to this particular version.
  • Honors:  The Giver by Lois Lowry

EXPECTATIONS:  All incoming 8th grade DATA students are expected to have completed the reading of their assigned novel before the school year begins.  There will be a comprehensive exam as well as a project (to be completed in class) within the first couple of weeks of school.
