Summer is the perfect time to find books and texts to read for pleasure!
We have researched and reviewed a number of titles to make recommendations for students’ summer reading selections. The titles on the recommended reading list represent a wide range of stories that are inclusive of the experiences of our students and community. Many of the books on the recommended reading list enable students to both see themselves in the literature and learn from perspectives that may be different from their own. We hope that many of our students will be interested in these titles because of their relevance, accessibility and quality.
Perseverance, integrity, equity, responsibility, community and excellence are the values that drive our work every day at Pierce. These values are represented in many of the themes of the suggested reading titles and allow students to make connections between our school community’s values and literature.
