Summer Reading

2023 Briarcliff Summer Reading List

This year our Annual Book Fair will be held from June 5th to the 9th in the Briarcliff Library and has an online component hosted by Scholastic. Click HERE to access the online Fair.

This Summer Reading List covers all grades and is “recommended” suggestions. In addition, Scholastic provides quality titles that you may choose to read too!  Please note that when possible, I have provided Lexile Scores and marked some titles for “Mature Readers.”   Parents are encouraged to review, discuss, and decide with their children the best titles.  Students should feel free to access Sora, our eBook, audiobook, and magazine digital platform, for other pleasure reading choices.                      

A limited number of Print copies of all the mandatory titles will be sold during the fair.
Thank you for your support,
Mr. Posner
