2024 SUMMER READING LISTS
|
We believe readers need choice in their reading lives; therefore, all the boys are being given choice in their summer reading selections.
Upper School boys are expected to read three books during the summer. One is a required title specific to grade level and will be provided to current students before they leave for summer break. Your student can choose the other two books. Students needing inspiration can select books from the Fessenden Summer Reading Lists on the following pages. Further instructions are included on their respective grade pages. Happy reading! |
