Here are some book lists created by teachers, librarians, and parents. As always, preview the choices with your child to make sure they are a "good fit book." Students have learned this year that not every book is a good fit.
A Good Fit Book is one a student can read independently (or with the help of an adult), one that is about a topic that interests them, one that reflects their own values, and one that is FUN to read!!
