SFUSD Independent Reading
In SFUSD, we value the love of reading and expect that students will be reading widely both fiction and nonfiction titles of their choosing.
The Humanities Department has compiled independent reading selections for students in grades 6-12. Students are not limited to choosing texts from our Independent Reading list for independent reading - these are suggested titles presented for student consideration.
We highly encourage students to visit the public library to select these texts and others from their expansive collections.
