Parents often ask us for Summer Reading suggestions. I will add my “favourite” Grade One “read to self” and read aloud books, below. Please consider visiting the Public Library, sign up to represent our school, join the Summer Reading Club. As well, the Library has a wonderful literacy program for children. Drop by and watch a puppet show or participate in some Reader’s Theater! Encourage your children to read and “log” their books onto a special sheet provided by the library. At the end of the summer, the children can attend a medal ceremony that “celebrates” their reading achievements! The children are proud to wear their reading medals back to school to show teachers and friends! This is a wonderful opportunity to promote and encourage summer reading and further develop literacy! Sign out some of the titles listed below, find a favourite reading spot, snuggle up, practice and enjoy reading together.
