Fourth Grade Suggested Summer Reading List

This suggested summer reading list was compiled by the fourth grade team of teachers for rising fourth graders. There are no required projects to complete over the summer. However, this list is a good guide and resource for students who wish to maintain and progress their reading skills throughout the summer. We encourage each student to read at least two (2) books from this list. Enjoy the summer and enjoy the books!!
