MNSD Elementary Librarians Celebrate Summer Reading with You!
Entering 3 rd Grade Suggested Summer Reading List
Third Grade Reads!
The goal of our summer reading program is to encourage the enjoyment of reading and acquaint students with specific authors, as well as to encourage the reading habit by suggesting a wide range of authors of fiction, nonfiction and series books. Summer reading is a time when children can focus on the fun of reading by reading what interests them. Visit your Marple or Newtown Public Library and let the celebration of summer reading begin!
