On top of getting outside and enjoying the great outdoors, playing with friends and family we would love for our students to READ this summer as well as work on other activities to help with the the summer slide. Summer slide is a term that references the dip students often experience in their academic ability after a summer break. We can't wait to see how your brains GROW after reading this summer. #FalconProud
Dear Parent or Caregiver,
My Books Summer has been designed to help your child maintain their reading skills over the summer break, a time when many students fall behind their grade levels. We hope that you will support your child’s daily reading, so we are sending home books for your child to read, enjoy, and keep for their home library.
There are many ways to help your child grow as a reader, but the most important is to help establish a routine of daily reading. You might want to help your child set up a time and place for this, establishing a consistent habit that will allow for concentration and immersion in the pleasures of reading. It’s also important to talk with your child about what he or she has read, ask questions, encourage discussions, and help with comprehension as needed. If your child is already an enthusiastic reader, elicit opinions and ideas that are sparked by their reading.
If your child is a reluctant reader, it may be helpful to read certain books together, or for you to read the book on your own and then sit down with your child to discuss it. If you retell your own favorite details, read aloud favorite passages, or ask your own questions about the book, it will set an example for your child to begin to develop their own abilities to analyze and evaluate texts. The Summer Reading Journal and Think Sheets will help your child with their summer reading goals—and will make it easy for you to support your child’s efforts.
We thank you for helping your child make a habit of daily reading and enjoying books. Summer reading is an important way to help your child transition to the next school year.
Sincerely,
Fancher Staff
