<strong>Subiaco</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> English Department Independent <strong>Reading</strong> <strong>List</strong>s for <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
(revised May 2012)<br />
Students enrolled in regular English classes are required to read four texts. Each quarter, they<br />
will be tested on one of the texts they have read. Pre-AP and AP students are required to read a<br />
text each month, or about seven texts from the list. For testing purposes, students may read only<br />
from their grade level list. Students are encouraged to begin creating their own library by<br />
purchasing some of these books as the school does not necessarily provide these texts. Students<br />
are also encouraged to begin their reading during the summer.<br />
Some of these selections will be taught and discussed in class. These texts will be provided<br />
for student use by the school. If the book is taught in class, it will not be used for the<br />
independent reading test. An * indicates a novel planned for in-class discussion. This list may<br />
change; the teacher will notify students at the beginning of the school year.<br />
