Summer Reading

Altamont's faculty see how reading improves students' writing, vocabulary and knowledge, so we expect students to read one book per month outside of class, including books from the English department's list and readings for other classes. We also expect students to read four books during the summer, chosen from the grade-level reading lists below.If you have any questions about Summer Reading, please reach out to Larry McCain, the Academic Director for English and World Languages.
