Summer reading for middle school

Summer reading offers students an opportunity to enjoy quality literature while growing their independent reading skills. By offering choice, we hope students will find books they won’t be able to put down so they can authentically engage in summer reading and ultimately enjoy reading so they are better prepared to engage in academic reading.

This summer, every Lexington One middle-school student should self-select and read at least one book. As a starting point, students might consider choosing one of the 2022-2023 South Carolina Junior Book Award (JBA) nominees; however, choosing from this list is not required.
