Summer Reading
May, June, July 2018
Important Reminders!
Here are a few reminders for a successful summer of reading!
- Everyday... Make a goal to spend at least 20 minutes reading! You can read by yourself, read with parents, read with a sibling, read to your dog... just read!
- Complete the calendar!.... Don't forget to complete the June and July reading calendars and bring them back to school in August! You will earn a level of PIR for each month that is complete!
- Come to school... Yes! In the summer! Bring a book and leave a book anytime at our Little Library outside and/or come to the Media Center Summer Nights to swap books and participate in fun reading activities with the teachers (see schedule below)!
- Choice... Choosing your own books is important! Make sure to pick books that you think are super cool and interesting so you are excited to read them!
Where to Get Books
