2022 MDID Recommended Winter Reading List

 

Dear MDID Students, 

Congratulations on completing this semester, during your winter break besides enjoying the break and rest you deserve, don’t forget about school! Make sure you also have a look at MYP subject overview to get a head start on semester 2’s curriculum. 

Besides completing assigned texts relevant to the next semester to you and assignments on CommonLit/IXL, we hope that you will complete more independent reading during this winter break. 

Many research has shown links between independent extra reading that isn’t assigned by the school or subject teachers and improvement in grades and academic performance at school. Individuals who possess the habit of independent reading have greater reading comprehension, verbal fluency, and general knowledge than peers who don't. Also, students who read more have shown improvement in the following areas: 

  • Enhanced brain activity, 

  • Improved vocabulary, 

  • Developing critical thinking, 

  • Increased ability to understand others

Following are some recommended texts to read
