Let the summer reading adventures begin!

Use the links below to get started on your summer reading! You can choose Sora Sweet Reads, C.F. Goodwin, the Rockwall Public Library, or all of them! The choice is yours!


Complete a summer reading activity of your choosing here (Summer Reading Bingo, Summer Reading log, Book Shelfie, Genre Challenge or Summer Reading Book Report) to keep track of your adventures. If you'd rather create a digital activity, you can create a digital book journal from the Sora Sweet Reads website & email your creation to your librarian. Turn the completed activity of your choosing into your school librarian by August 14, 2026 for a trip to the BOOK VENDING MACHINE (or an alternate prize option if your campus does not have a book vending machine)!


Summer reading not only helps to prevent the SUMMER SLIDE but also develops habits that create life-time readers. Click here for more information on the summer slide & how families can encourage summer reading.

Sora Summer Reading Sora Summer Reading

Join us this summer with OverDrive’s annual reading program. Sora Sweet Reads is designed to encourage students to keep reading all year long. Overdrive/Sora is offering a collection of free, simultaneous-use ebooks (and select audiobooks) that spans grades K-12. These titles will be available to participating schools and prominently displayed in Sora so it’s easy for students to find their next sweet read.
