This year has been the year of reading; I don’t think I have ever read so many fantastic books, I don’t think I have ever spent so much money on books, and I couldn’t be happier. Except now I am faced with a problem; my 5th graders are starting to seriously ponder what they should read over the summer and I running out of ideas. I have about 30 books to read myself and I have been piling books on their desks but we need a seriously massive list to get us through the summer. So please help us by filling out any of these boxes on our form. Pass it around; ask your students, your colleagues your favorite librarians, and we promise to share all of the results.
Please help us make the best summer reading list ever!

Please share! I would love to see what others come up with to share with my class. Thanks –

When you say 5th appropriate, do you mean in terms of reading level or content? As you already know there is a whole slew of maturity levels in 5th grade. Should we error on the side of caution? 😉
Great question; my 5th graders read everything from "Angels and Demons" to The Lunch Lady books. SO whatever you would have no problem recommending to most 5th graders probably.
