Summer Reading Recommendations

Dear parents,

in reading class today, my students made their summer reading wish lists. Tomorrow, they will receive information about their summer required reading project from ACPS middle schools, which will be sent home in their report card envelope at the end of the year.

I just wanted to give you all some of the resources I shared with students today so you can be prepared in case over the summer there is ever a dull moment when your child does not have an inspiring book to read!

Goodreads has tons of recommended books lists. I would recommend using caution with any of their lists labeled “teen” or “YA” as many of the topics are of a nature that may be inappropriate for kids their age. This link takes you to a series of Goodreads lists of books for “tweens” that many were interested in today.

Also, the American Library Association has published this list of recommended reading for “tweens” this summer. 

Not that it’s goodbye yet! Happy book shopping/library hunting 🙂
