MPS Reads

In support of our Ambitious Instruction Plan for reading, each month we will feature on the MPS website suggested titles for pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students. The goal is to

assist teachers, librarians, parents, and others in finding interesting books that will encourage and excite students to read more literature and informational text;
suggest titles that allow students to see themselves, explore other cultures, and discover more about the world in which they live;
increase the volume of books students are reading independently to ignite a passion for reading.

Please wait while we gather your results.
