Below you will find all of the summer reading opportunities and resources being promoted by the Oceanside School District to encourage students to engage in a "readerly life" this summer. Reading with volume can curb the "summer slide" and help our kids to discover the power and joy of reading.

We encourage all of our families to promote some "book love" this summer.

We are happy to announce that Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelley has won this year's community vote. Grab a copy and join us on August 12th at 7 pm at the Oceanside Library for our book discussion. We are hoping that students, parents, and community members alike will read this powerful story and come share their thoughts with us.

The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman might have "lost" the community vote (only by 18 votes!) - but it generated a lot of buzz. It's a compelling read. So why not read both A Song for a Whale & The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman this summer?

Check out this fantastic summer reading website for all students entering 7th grade through their senior year at OHS! This website was reviewed with all current 6-11th graders by their classroom teachers.

Thank you to our OHS and OMS school librarians for curating this amazing resource.
