The Humanities Department is excited to unveil the 2017 Summer Reading List. Please note that all summer reading books are chosen carefully, with clear rubrics that include consideration of literary value, awards and interest level. This year, we have also included some additional ratings that may help you and your child choose the best texts for him/her. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Dr. Chiesa at nchiesa@medford.k12.ma.us.
Disclaimer: The ratings that follow come from websites (as noted below) containing parental ratings for literature. However, it is advised that the parents/guardians consult the websites and books on their own to see a full parental review of the selected book and to select at parent/guardian discretion for content, keeping in mind the educational value of the text.
Parental ratings and descriptions are from the following sources:
commonsensemedia.org “CSM”
