Summer Reading

Antioch Elementary School

This summer, read every day! Reading four or more books this summer helps prevent the “summer slide” in reading.

Antioch Elementary does not require summer reading assignments or tests, but we want our Gators to keep reading over the summer holidays!

PARENTS: Look below for recommended book lists of top titles your kids will love!

⭐Tip! Summer is a great time for middle grades readers to explore new genres, series, and authors without being overly concerned with their "level". Rereading is ok, too! This allows readers to engage with a favorite title and simply enjoy it. Old favorites are comfort reading!
