This Summer, Choose Your
Reading Journey!
Elementary students are invited to embark on an exciting summer reading adventure where they are in charge of the journey! Whether exploring far-off lands, solving mysteries, meeting new characters, or diving into favorite topics, every book opens the door to a new world. With the freedom to choose what they read, students will discover the joy of storytelling, build their reading skills, and create a journey that’s all their own. Let’s make this summer full of imagination, discovery, and fun—one page at a time!
Below is a summer reading bucket list and recommended reading lists for all different genres. Enjoy!
