Summer reading lists for Chelmsford elementary schools change each year. The lists highlight recent books and some favorite titles. Choose a book from any of the last three years, or use the Reading Lists below to get even more suggestions.

 

 

 

Reading Lists by Grades and Genres

Do you need suggestions for good books to read? We have lists of books for each grade. We even have the lists separated into genres. (That's a fancy word for different kinds of stories: mysteries, fantasy, real world, etc.)
