It’s
only one book every week. But re-reading
them throughout the week will help your child master the vocabulary and maybe
‘read’ some from memory. You can ask
them to match letters, find page numbers, name letters and even simple words. Compare illustrations. Discuss titles. The possibilities are endless…
And
mostly don’t forget to enjoy this special time together!

GRADE
Recommended Summer Reading for First Grade
We
hope that students entering first grade bring with them a love of books!
Whether your child is just beginning to read, reading on their own, or are not
at that point yet, the most important thing is that they enjoy books and view
reading in a positive light. You can
help by making sure that reading is a priority in your home. Please read to or with your child daily and
let them see you reading as well.
Reading books in English is wonderful exposure, but remember that it is
also very important to read books in your native language as well. Choose books of interest to your child. Help them see how important reading is in
everyone’s daily lives, whether it is reading a recipe, the morning paper, or
special stories at bedtime. Choose any
book—you can’t go wrong. If you need a
few ideas to get you started, here some titles we suggest:
*Miss Nelson is Missing Series
*Books by Eric Carle:
The Very Grouchy Ladybug
The Very Hungry Cat
The Very Busy Spider
