The median number of books read by Class 1 is 5 (since there are 15 numbers and the middle two are 5 and 5).
The median number of books read by Class 2 is also 5 (since there are 15 numbers and the middle two are 3 and 5).
Therefore, both Class 1 and Class 2 have a median number of 5 books read during the summer.
