NPHS Summer Reading Language Arts 2022
All students in grades 9-12 (except 12th Grade AP English; see below) are required to read one fiction and one nonfiction book this summer. In September, all students will take a departmental assessment. The New Providence Public Library will have multiple copies of each book to borrow, but we encourage students to purchase their own copies. You can also checkout eBook copies through the OverDrive/Sora App. Look for the collection "High School Summer Reading". You can also download the eBook At the End of Everything through Hoopla a free eBook resource from the New Providence Memorial Library accessible with your library card.
