reading assignments

Books to finish

Reading assignments are texts or passages assigned by teachers for students to read, typically before class discussion or as homework.

The term usually implies required reading with some accountability—a quiz, paper, or class participation: I haven't finished the reading assignments for tomorrow.

In college, reading assignments often dwarf what students actually complete.
