The goal of our summer reading program is to cultivate a lifelong love of reading. Extensive research supports that regular reading significantly boosts academic success. This summer, whether it’s magazines, the fine print on your cereal box, or a digital article, make it a point to read! Imagine spending a warm summer day unwinding with an enthralling book at the beach or your favorite cozy nook. Remember, whether you choose to read a physical book or listen to an audiobook, the benefits and enjoyment are the same. The important thing is to dive into reading!

Continuing our tradition, Tappan Zee High School offers a diverse array of reading lists tailored to various interests and academic needs, including our specially curated exceptional lists. For this summer’s reading initiative, we ask each student to select and read any two books from these lists. Come fall, students will participate in an in-class essay assignment reflecting on their chosen books. Please make sure to note the author and title of the books you select.

Below, you will find the recommended reading list curated by the TZHS English Honor Society. We’re excited to hear about the books you choose to explore this summer! We look forward to fostering a vibrant reading community this summer and can’t wait to discuss these fascinating reads in the fall!
