CHARLES COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER READING LISTS 2017 – 2018 The Charles County Honors/AP/Dual Enrollment English program requires students to complete summer reading to prepare them for the upcoming school year and to give teachers a common ground with which to begin instruction. Summer reading will be assessed by tests, quizzes, and other methods when school reopens. Book lists will go to libraries and bookstores; students are encouraged to purchase individual copies, if possible, so that they can annotate the texts as they read. Please sign below, keep the top copy, and return the bottom copy to your English teacher. I understand that enrollment in an honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment English class entails completion of the appropriate summer reading assignment.
