                M-DCPS Suggested Summer Reading Lists

            Required Summer Reading for 8th Graders

The titles contained in these recommended readings lists reflect diverse cultures and perspectives.  While the titles have been  arranged by grade level for easier identification of age appropriate reading level and content; parents are most familiar with their child's reading skills, maturity, and interests.  Parents are encouraged to help their child make a selection by previewing the titles. Consideration should be given to the difficulty of the text, subject matter, and content of the book.
