    Incoming First Grade Summer Reading List

     

    Summer is a relaxing time…a time for many outdoor activities.  However, when we need to take a break from the heat…there is nothing more appealing that a shady spot and a good book.  Students entering first grade are required to read five books from the list below.  If you can’t find these particular titles, choose another book by the author.  Reading a good book and sharing it with your family and friends is always a fun time!
