Horry County Schools

2008 Summer Reading Initiative – Grades 9-12

Why should students read over the summer?

The purpose of Horry County Schools’ Summer Reading Initiative is to promote a love of reading and to continue developing critical thinking skills. Research shows that students who continue reading throughout the summer experience less academic loss. The Summer Reading Initiative will establish a springboard for reflection and reading celebration in the fall. Summer provides the perfect opportunity to continue to support the development of lifelong reading habits by encouraging our students to read. Reading practice creates not only stronger readers but also lifelong readers.

For complete information regarding Horry County Schools' Summer Reading Initiative talk with your English teacher.

I am reading the book "Fallen Angels" By Walter Dean Myers. It is a good book so far, it is about a bunch of guys that go to the army thinking that it is going to be fun, and acting like big men, but but find out that it is not a game.

I am still reading "Fallen Angels" by Walter Dean Myers. Now the men are on a plane and they are being shot at, they are all scared, and praying that they don't get killed.
