Summer Reading Lists

The weather hasn't officially decided to get warm yet...but we have seen some sunny, warm days.  Before we know it, school will be out and summer will officially be here.  In the next few weeks, I will be talking to students about summer reading.  It is so important for kids to read at least 5 books during the summer.  Books are perfect for summer fun because they don't need to be plugged in or charged and you can take them everywhere!  If you have a book, you can't be bored!

I will be bringing in books for students to add to their summer To-Read lists.  They can use these lists when they go to the library to get books to read over the summer.  I will also ask the students to set reading goals and then show them how to fill out a simple reading log where they can keep track of the books they have read.

When I was in school, I remember going to the library to participate in their summer reading program.  Usually, you can sign up after the school year ends. Kids read and tell the library what they have read and then they can get prizes!  I loved it when I was in elementary school.  You can click here for some information about the summer reading program from the Poplar Creek Library.

Barnes and Noble offers their own summer reading program.  Kids have to read 8 books and they can get a free book from their list of books. How cool is that?  I love free things. I love books.  I love free books!  Why not?  You can visit the Barnes and Noble website for more information about their summer program.

Please share books that you think would be great for summer reading!  You can add them in the comments section of this post.

If you can come to school and bring me a book or the title and author of a book that you think I should add to my summer reading list, you can earn one sticker towards a reading reward!
