Summer Reading Lists

Montgomery School Summer Reading Position Statement

● From reading texts at an independent reading level, students will view summer reading as an
enjoyable, accessible, and manageable experience
● Through either a wide range of genres or self-selected texts, summer reading encourages
continued literacy development over the summer months
● The texts often introduce skills and background for the content knowledge found within a
grade level’s curriculum
● Parents play an influential role: age-appropriate involvement with summer reading is
important, and this involvement allows parents to convey the importance of lifelong reading
