Summer Reading Assignments

At Malden Public Schools, we are committed to fostering a love for reading and supporting continuous learning throughout the summer months. As part of our ongoing efforts to promote academic growth and prevent regression, we are excited to announce the release of our comprehensive summer reading lists for entering the 2025-2026 school year.

Summer reading is a vital component of our educational curriculum, designed to engage students in enriching literary experiences that enhance their skills, broaden their perspectives, and ignite their imaginations. Research consistently demonstrates that students who participate in summer reading programs not only maintain their academic progress but also experience significant gains in reading proficiency.
