Summer Reading Lists
Summer Reading Lists have been prepared collaboratively between the SOMSD elementary school librarians and the Maplewood & South Orange Public Library’s Children’s Librarians. The lists will not be sent home in a printed format but are available at each of the public libraries and on the district website.

If you’re looking for great books for children, Ms. Lehn suggests this website to get started…
James Patterson’s ReadKiddoRead.com is a web site designed to help parents, teachers, and librarians ignite the next generation’s passion for reading by recommended books carefully chosen for their ability to get kids excited about reading. Complete with age designations, thoughtful book descriptions, author and celebrity interviews (Jeff Kinney, Rick Riordan, Julie Andrews, Lemony Snicket, and more), links to online retailers and more, ReadKiddoRead.com helps make finding a book for a young person easy and, ultimately, rewarding. ReadKiddoRead.com contains reading guides specifically tailored to each age group. Patterson says that the guides contain only those books “that are designed to really turn kids on.”
