LBUSD Reading Lists Grades 1-8
This page lists books selected for students by Long Beach Unified School Districtteachers and librarians. The books are interesting, engaging and appropriate for students in each grade level.
Some titles may be familiar to you. Others may introduce you to new authors and illustrators. Either way, be sure that the books you and your youngster select to read are ones you both find enjoyable. Recreational reading should be a pleasant experience.
While we have only included one title by each author, you will find that many of these authors have written more than one book. English teachers and librarians at your school and at the public library will be happy to help you find more books by these authors.
