Enjoy a summer filled with family/friends, sunshine, and reading! We encourage all K-5 students to consider how often and how much they are reading in June, July, and August. Please follow these recommendations:
The choice is yours! You should choose books that are interesting to you personally. Please consider your preferences for authors, genres, and series when selecting titles. Does the book fit your personal reading purpose (to laugh, to learn, to explore)? Does the book interest you?
Need assistance choosing a high-quality text? These curated lists can help you get started. Please click on the links below and use each list as a starting point.
If you would like additional guidance, Common Sense Media is an independent nonprofit organization that provides unbiased information and rates movies, TV shows, books, and more so that caregivers can feel comfortable about the choices they make for their children. This website may be able to provide additional information about a book selection.
PVSD is dedicated to helping you access high-quality, high-interest books. Please know that our school libraries, specifically Evergreen Elementary, Skippack Elementary, and South Elementary, will be open this summer for summer library programming, Color Our World!

Additionally, current PVSD students may access library ebooks and audiobooks through our Destiny Discover library catalog. See the links below to access the catalog for your building.
Public Libraries
We also encourage you to utilize ebooks offered by local MCLINC libraries and the Free Library of Philadelphia. You can apply online to get library cards from these public libraries.
We really want you to focus on reading and get excited about starting a new school year! During the first few weeks of the school year, you may have the opportunity to DISCUSS OR WRITE (or maybe both) about your reading. Each elementary school may offer additional opportunities related to summer reading that are unique to each building. PVSD’s shared goal is to create a community of readers!
