Dear Parents and Students of Grade Six to Grade 11,


Reading is an essential part of the learning process. With the advancements in technology and the current trends in education, reading has evolved from traditional printed materials to digital learning resources. 


Research shows that students who do not read during the summer lose at least two months of literacy development. Students who do not engage in reading or any learning activity during the summer may experience ‘the summer slide’ or the ‘summer reading loss’. 


In order to bridge the reading gap, schools provide a summer reading program to help learners develop their reading skills to gain proficiency in reading.


To make students stay on track, the Learning Resource Center has prepared a list of recommended readings which include both print and online resources to provide you with wider options in order to maintain or develop literacy skills acquired in school. 


As you read them, you can reflect on the following:


  1. Events and situations in the story that you appreciate.

  2. Characters you identify yourself with.

  3. Anything about the book that reminds you of your own experiences.

  4. If the book is a read that you will recommend to others or not.


Attached are the list of suggested books for each grade level. To access the e-book titles, login to EBSCOhost using the following credentials:



Go to: bit.ly/xsnebsco

Username: xsn[grade level]  

Example: xsn7 for incoming Grade 7, xsn8 for incoming Grade 8, and so on. 


Password: LuceatLux!2324


Bear in mind that the summer reading will be part of the First Trimester book talk for School Year 2024 - 2025. 


Thank you very much. 



Sincerely, 


(Sgd.)

Mr. Frederick S. Perez

Assistant Principal for Academics
