Welcome
to Boston Latin Academy. We would like to help you get off
to a good start. Since our most successful students
are readers, we are providing you with a summer reading list to
encourage you to either develop or enrich your reading habits.
Please do
not view this list as homework in the summer or school work for
the beach. We believe you will find these books to be exciting
and enjoyable. We want you to love to read and to have fun
reading.
When you
come to school in September, you must have read at least seven
books, four from our list and three of your own choice.
Please bring
your parental
signature form with you on the first day of school. Have
a great summer full of books and adventure.
