An important goal of the reading program within the Glencoe schools, is to develop lifelong readers who read for enjoyment, understanding, and information. To accomplish this goal, students must have ample opportunity to read good literature both in school and at home. In the intermediate grades, acquiring essential reading skills is important but is only part of the total reading program. The other part involves the enjoyable application of these skills through independent reading.

In order to guide students in selecting books, independent reading lists were compiled by a faculty committee. The aim of these lists are to identify classic and outstanding literary selections to be read independently.
