MzT's Outside Reading

MzT's Reading List isn't quite this long.
Outside Reading
Students are responsible for choosing, completing, and documenting outside reading from
this Outside Reading List. It is suggested that parents/guardians stay aware of students
choices since the lists the students may choose are from national lists and may not represent
the specific worldview of Victor Valley Christian School. Parents and students can discuss the
literature.


Students will be required to read 100 points of outside reading each semester evaluated by the teacher, satisfactorily accomplishing regular checkpoints with activities and Book Chats.  If the
student wishes to use audio versions, these must be accompanied with either a digital or hard
copy to refer to. Only Shakespeare may be included as a film viewing, but accompanied with

activities and references to digital or hard copies of the plays.

Students may also read and report on sets of speeches from American Rhetoric.

Reading List for Grades 7 and 8

Students are responsible for choosing, completing and documenting outside reading from
this Outside Reading List. It is suggested that parents/guardians stay aware of students
choices, since the lists the students may choose are from national lists may not represent
the specific worldview of Victor Valley Christian School. Books and literature that are
discussed in class include discussion with a Christian worldview, so parents may wish
to have a discussion with your student during outside reading.


Students will be required to read 100 points of outside reading each semester evaluated
by the teacher, satisfactorily accomplishing regular checkpoints with activities and Book Chats.  
If the student wishes to use audio versions, these must be accompanied with either a digital
