The designated summer reading books for students entering twelfth grade AP English are:

• Conte of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
• A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

These books were included in your book fees at enrollment/re-enrollment and can be picked up in the front office of either campus after enrollment/re-enrollment is complete through Admissions.

Students are asked to annotate their books. The annotations will constitute your child’s first English grades of the year. A guide to annotating  with sample illustrations is available below. These books will also be the source of discussion during the first couple of weeks of school.

Information on annotating is posted below with sample illustrations. There should be annotations on each page - chapter summaries not required. Should questions arise about annotations or these instructions, please email Ms. Cook in the upper school English department (kcook@wcala.org).
