Summer Reading List
Second Grade Summer Reading List
The best way to help prepare your child for second grade is by having them read every day for twenty minutes. Here is a list of recommended books that your child can read. They may read any books they like (even if not on the list), as long as they are reading. Allowing the kids to choose the books they are interested in, will inspire them to read more. The more they read, the more their reading skills will improve.
