Pinellas County Schools Summer Reading Tips
Summer reading builds literacy skills, expands vocabulary and broadens student perspectives. Students are encouraged to read books that interest them, including fiction and non-fiction. We suggest that families consider books from the Florida Department of Education’s grade-level reading lists.

Feel free to explore other books that capture their interests and ignite their imagination. Whether it's diving into a beloved classic or discovering a new favorite author, the most important thing is to keep reading alive and thriving throughout the summer months.- 2025 List Coming Soon
