Here are some reading lists that have been compiled from several different sources.  Take what you like, discard what you don't.  When in doubt, just read it...it's better than playing video games!

1. ALSC Book List - The Association for Library Service to Children promotes reading and books through recommendations, compilations of lists, and related services.  ALSC booklists are created as a resource for children's librarians to share with patrons. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to explore these titles to find resources that may match or spark their child's interest.

2. Scholastic SRL - Ages 6-7 / Scholastic SRL - Ages 8-10 / Scholastic SRL - Ages 11-13

3. Imagination Soup - Get your kids ages 5 to 18, reading with book recommendations from these up-to-date summer reading lists. They’re at every grade level from elementary to middle school to high school!
