School Reading Lists
Elementary Schools
The elementary schools recommend that your child read 20 minutes a day at their level. It is important for children to read below their level to reinforce reading skills and to read above their level to challenge themselves.
The most important factor in encouraging reading is choice; children who choose what they are reading will be more motivated to read.
Our librarians are here to help your child find a book they love!
