Summer Reading 2020: A Collection of Links

June 22, 2020 by Erika Thulin Dawes   2 comments

It’s the time of year when The Classroom Bookshelf goes offline, but we will be back in late August. It is an unusual summer for all of us and, despite the many unknowns, we hope that the coming weeks afford you opportunities for reflection and recharging and for planning and purpose-setting. 

As we have done in past years, we offer a collection of links for summer reading suggestions. Teachers, librarians and families may find these curated lists helpful as you facilitate book experiences for the young readers in your lives. Be sure to investigate the summer reading offerings at your local public library.
