Schoolfamily.com - Helping parents help their kids succeed at school

 

Closing out this week with some good news and some good reads! We are happy to announce the 2 winners of the Summer Reading List Sweepstakes. Congrats go to:

Gina Lovejoy from California

Shelly Rogers from Missouri

Judging from all the wonderful book suggestions, we have no doubt that Gina and Shelly will have no problem figuring out how to spend their $200 Amazon gift card.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this children's reading list! The response was phenomenal and we are happy to have have such a great list of books for you to check out. Next time you go to the library be sure to bring this list along! 

A few notes about the list below. The book titles are sorted by PreK-3, grades 4-6, t(w)een reads, and books that you said everyone would love. There are some books that appear in multiple categories. In some cases, folks suggested a book series and in others they suggested a specific book in the series. I kept both on the list.

Happy reading to you and your family!
