Collingwood Reads: Summer Reading 2026

Welcome to Collingwood Reads: Summer Reading 2026!
This year, you have more flexibility than ever to choose a book that truly interests you.
Follow these instructions to secure your spot for September book discussions.
How to Sign Up:
1. Access the Website: Head to the Summer Reading 2026 Site.
2. Review the Options: You have two main pathways for your summer reading.
Option 1: Select a Specific Title: Browse the list of featured books. Each book is sponsored by student and/or teacher ambassadors.
Option 2: Select "Open-Choice": If you have a specific book in mind that isn’t on the list, you can join a genre team.
3. Log into Veracross:

Find “Summer Reading Sign-up” on the right hand side (you may have to refresh to find book club selections).
Each Book Club has only 16 spots available.
In Veracross, be sure to confirm your “program selection.”
Sign up is MANDATORY and due by Friday, May 15th!

Note: If you choose a Team, you must still read a book that fits that category to participate in the September discussion group for that genre.
