Summer may be your chance to take a break from school, but you can still continue your learning over the summer and have fun at the same time.
High school students that read during the summer months are more likely to score higher on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT and AP Exams; and college students will find that the more they read, the greater their engagement in classes upon their return to campus. Plus, the novels included on summer reading lists can provide historical and social context for college students in their other courses.
While literary classics are vital to developing written and verbal skills, contemporary novels can provide just as much help and influence to students preparing for tests as well as classes.
Check out Fastweb’s summer must-reads for high school, college and grad students. Don't forget to share which was your favorite after the summer!
