Let's get READING!

This page includes suggestions for quality, independent reading materials for our students. You will find reliable online resources, local Glastonbury resources, and the Library Media Specialist's picks. Teachers and librarians will offer reading suggestions when a student either requires or requests this assistance. No reading is required through the school library.

NOTE:  We encourage parents to monitor the materials their children are selecting to read. We also encourage parents to regularly discuss these materials with their children.
