Summer Reading

The Summer Reading Program at Suffield Academy aspires to help students on several levels. First, we want to encourage our students to read outside of the classroom and beyond the school year. Good reading habits help students maintain academic skills over the vacation periods. We also hope that our summer reading program creates community bonds among classes and connects to our school mission “to prepare students for a lifetime of learning.” 

All students are expected to read the required text for their grade or course level before the start of the school year. 

We ask that students annotate throughout the book and write reflection notes that raise compelling questions, express meaningful or thought-provoking ideas, or reflect personal connections to the text. Students should prepare to reflect, discuss, and write about their reading during their first English class week.
