Is there a reading list for every grade level?

Yes, GDS has summer reading suggestions tailored to every stage of the student journey. Whether your child is just figuring out how to sound out words in Pre-K or they’re diving into literary analysis in high school, there’s a list for them. The recommendations are grouped by grade bands—PK to 2nd, 3rd to 4th, 5th to 6th, 7th to 8th, and high school—so it’s easy to find age-appropriate options. Each list offers a variety of genres and themes, making sure there’s something for every kind of reader. It’s like a literary starter pack for each age, helping kids grow their reading skills without feeling boxed into a single genre or reading level.
