Overview
All students at Dedham Middle School are required to complete summer reading. Each student must read one book over the summer from the recommended reading list.
Most of the books selected are readily available in paperback, and some are also available in e-book format. Review the reading list early in the summer to make sure that you can obtain copies of your choices. Many of these books are also available at your local library, and the Dedham Public Libraries are aware of the books on our summer reading list.
The recommended book should be chosen from the appropriate reading list or the one from the grade above yours. For example, sixth graders may choose from "Recommended Books for Grades 6" or "Recommended Books for Grade 7." If you chose to read from the grade above yours, please first receive parent or guardian permission.
8th grade must read from the "Recommended Books for Grade 8." They may not read from the high school list.
