There are no formal assignments associated with summer reading, so it's the perfect time to choose a book that just looks GOOD! If you're looking for suggestions, some ideas are also posted on the lists below.
Additionally, all Durgee students have access to THOUSANDS of FREE eBooks and Audiobooks via the SORA app. Directions for using SORA are available by click here. Additionally, next year Durgee students will have the opportunity to participate in Battle of the Books. Battle of the Books (BOTB) is a regional competition in which students work in teams to read and study a set of 8 novels over the course of the school year. They will then participate in “Jeopardy-style” tournaments to demonstrate their knowledge of the books, first at the building level, followed by finalists moving on to the district and regional levels. If your students are interested in participating, they can get started by reading any of the books on the attached list of summer reading suggestions. Printer friendly versions are available here: 8th Grade List and the 9th Grade List.
