Summer Reading at ASD: Middle School

Summer is for family, friends, foreign lands and fun. It's also for reading. The ASD Libraries hope all students and families will make time to learn from and lose themselves in books.

Summer Reading in Middle School

The Middle School at ASD does not have a required summer reading list. BUT...we believe strongly in the power of reading and we really want all our students (and parents and teachers!) to read throughout the summer. Research consistently shows that students who make time for regular reading over the summer come back to school in the fall much better prepared and ready-to-go for the next school year. Even better, it's much more important that you do read (consistently) than what you read. So....use these resources if you need some help, but find some great reading!

eBook/Audiobooks on Sora

Students can access ASD's ebook and audiobook collection all summer long from anywhere. All MS students are already connected to Sora and can access it on their laptops via the Google Apps waffle or on iOS or Android app using their ASD email credentials.
