Welcome second grade readers!
This suggested summer reading list contains some of our favorite authors for second graders, favorite series titles, graphic novels, and the 2026 Nutmeg Nominees. But these are simply suggestions. Readers should feel free to read whatever they enjoy!
To maintain or improve reading stamina, students are encourage to read 20- 30 minutes a day, either independently or with a partner.
Many of the titles on this list can be found on Sora, our ebook and audiobook collection. Students use their student ID numbers to access their Sora account.
The Scranton Library is also an invaluable resource to help you connect with books, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and opportunities to participate in fun summer programs.
Please keep track of your reading by either filling out a Summer Reading Recording Sheet of all titles that you've read and submit it to your teacher in September or by participating in the Scranton Summer Reading program which tracks minutes read over the summer.
Happy Reading!
