On the Ninth Day of Christmas

…Whitehead Learning Group gave to me a new way to study! Unwrap today’s present to start the holiday break off right—in a new book!

Even if your English course doesn’t specifically require holiday break reading, it’s important to keep abreast of classics and current bestsellers. According to the Pew Research Center, about a quarter of American adults (24%) say they haven’t read a book in whole or in part during the past year. Don’t succumb to this statistic! 

Some worthwhile books to check into may be as close as your newest bookstore’s bestseller display. Keep in mind that you have the flexibility to pace yourself within a schedule that works for you. Can you commit to a specific time amount each day or does a page goal work best for you? As you read, sharpen those annotation skills you know your English teachers will be rolling out come the start of the new semester.

Happy Reading!
