Freshman Free Book Program

As part of a teacher-driven grant funded through Dover's SEED program, we are offering every freshman a free book!

 

To help them make a choice that is right for them, students have done the following: visited the Dover High School Library for an orientation activity, explored genres, and have done other activities with their English teachers to help connect them with books that they will enjoy

 

In the next few weeks, your freshman student will have a brief homework assignment in which they will record their top 3 book choices.

 

We are excited to have your students share their book choices with you.  

 

Please ask your student about the books they have selected as their first, second and third choices and complete the Parent/Guardian notification at the end of the form.
