A Message to the Parents of Incoming 3rd Graders 
Welcome 3rd graders! You know how to choose “just right” books from many fiction and nonfiction genres and have built stamina for reading at least 30 minutes at a time. We hope you will continue talking about reading with your friends and adults during the summer.
The Scranton Library is an invaluable resource to help you connect your child with books, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and opportunities to spend time with other readers.
This suggested summer reading list contains some of our favorite authors for second graders, student picks, and the 2021 Nutmeg Nominees.
You are free to read whatever you enjoy! Readers read what they love!
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 starting June 29th.
For even more reading fun, Principal Frost and Principal Spooner are hoping their students will joint them on a reading adventure this summer!
Happy Reading!
