Summer reading is so important to keep learning going and to let imaginations run free! We are thrilled to make more e-books and audiobooks for all ages available for free this summer to all DOE families, and it’s easier than ever to access them. Please read on for more information, and visit schools.nyc.gov/summerreading for additional details to be posted on Monday, June 29.

Please be aware that family vacations should be planned to coincide with the school calendar. If you are extending your weekend or attending sports tournament, please be mindful that teachers are not obligated to make prior arrangements for assignments, projects and other instructional activities involving work that has not yet been presented. There is also a possibility that your child will receive failing grades for that marking period due to insufficient attendance, which would also affect their final average for the school year.

You will be required to read two books over the summer, one will be fiction and one will be informational. You may choose books that interest you, as long as you meet the requirement (specific topics, specific genres within the two mandated types of books.) For example, perhaps you want to read a biography about a famous baseball player, that would meet the requirements for an informational text. Also, you like to read mysteries that would meet the requirements of fiction.
