Prerequisite for Honors English
If you are enrolled in an Honors English class for the 2020-2021 school year, you are required to
complete the summer reading assignment. It is a privilege and a great achievement to be enrolled in
Honors. Your placement in the class is contingent upon successful completion of the summer
reading assignments. If you do not complete the summer assignments and pass the AR reading quiz
with at least a 70%, you may not be allowed to continue in Honor English.
How to Gain Access to Books:
These books are available for purchase on Amazon, Vroman’s, and at other bookstores. There are
currently several websites offering free access to ebooks and audiobooks during the Stay at Home
order. Below is a list of a few you will want to investigate as soon as possible as many offers will
expire soon. Your local library may also have ebooks and audiobooks available. You may want to
also reach out to Blair students who read these books last year. They may have a copy they can
loan you.
