Summer Reading 2025

Required Reading

If you are taking AP Literature, you must read 3 texts: Purple Hibiscus, The Awakening, and The Stranger.  All of these texts are available electronically and are linked below.

For both AP Lit and ELA 12, your summer reading will be assessed during the first week of school, so make sure you do a thorough job.  You are strongly recommended to take notes on your reading. 

 

Note: Make sure to add the MLS Commonwealth eBook Collection to your Sora page to find more copies.

Watch the video that shows you how.  If you only see the Place Hold option, click on it and the ebook will be available shortly.
