Summer Reading 2020: Rising K- Class II

With summer vacation comes the joy of reading for pleasure.  The K-II Summer Reading List highlights some of our favorite recently published books in a variety of genres and formats, and is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all the high quality literature available. Because of this, reading from this list is not mandatory, and we encourage you to seek out suggestions from friends, teachers, and from your public library and favorite bookstores too. 

Though we won't be together in our physical library for students to check out books for summer reading, we have made all of the books (and many more!) available through Sora, our ebook platform. Your daughter's username (library card number) is available on her Contact Card in the portal. Please e-mail Ms. Dillon (cdillon@brearley.org) with questions. Our public library systems also have a wide range of books available electronically.

For those looking to purchase books, www.bookshop.org supports local bookstores, including the Corner Bookstore, The Lit Bar, Books are Magic, and Astoria Bookstore, while offering reasonable prices and shipping directly to your home. 

Use the left and right arrows in each box to scroll. Click the cover of each book to read a description and to check out an ebook copy in Sora. In some rare cases, Brearley was unable to purchase electronic copies-- in those cases, the links lead to other public library copies or to publisher pages.
