WHMS students are required to read three (3) books. Only ONE is ASSIGNED by Grade Level; the others are by the student's choice, using lists supplied by the school system.
The YA librarian has set up carts on the main floor of the library near the entrance to the Children's Room to hold the Required selections for the WH Middle School. The books are separated by grade and are color-coded:
GREEN dots=6th grade on Hatchet, by Gary Paulson
BLUE dots=7th grade on Scorpions by Walter Dean Myers - or
Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko - (7th grade HONORS students)
YELLOW dots=8th grade on Tunes for Bears to Dance To by Robert Cormier - or
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton - (8th grade HONORS students)
To locate the other two books that will complete your summer assignment, you will have to check the online catalog. Remember that you can check the catalog from home and reserve books from any library in Nassau County through our inter-library loan system. If you need help, please ask a librarian.
For more information, check the WHMS webpage for your Summer Reading Lists and Study Guides, which are posted by grade. (You will need Adobe Reader to open these links.)
You may ask at the YA desk or Reference desk to see a printed document.
