We encourage all students to continue practicing their reading comprehension by reinforcing what they already know and getting a preview of what is to come in their upcoming grade. The links below provide access to the textbooks that your child will be using in the coming school year:

K-6 English Language Arts

Go to: https://connected.mcgraw-hill.com
Login with the username and passwords below.
Scroll down and select the grade level ELA textbook.

Intermediate & High School English Language Arts

Select the grade level ELA textbook materials from the menu on the right hand side of the web page (see example below). Please note this is only for grades 7th through 12th.

We suggest students continue reading daily for at least 30 to 40 minutes during summer. Below are suggested reading lists for students by grade level. We recommend visits to the public library during summer and have provided the locations for the Public Libraries within Orange County.

Reading Lists for Grades K-12: https://ocpl.org/kids/read/book-lists

During the summer months, we suggest you continue to minimize television viewing (unless it is educational) and have your child write in a journal every day to keep his/her writing skills sharp for the upcoming year. Have your child write letters to family members in different states or countries, express his or her feelings, write stories or poems and even summaries of the books s/he is reading. Writing is a muscle that we want to make sure stays strong during summer and is ready for school in the Fall.

In addition to the resources above, we have a list of websites that make summer learning fun.
