Hello, Here are some summer/warm weather reading tips from our reading specialist Mrs Steif! Keep books in the car so the kids can read while traveling. Keep a bag of books handy to grab before leaving to watch a sibling play a sport. “Stream” a series - check out books in a series from the library. Play “Book Club” - set up a book club as part of a play date. Try organizing your books at home into fun categories like: Book that make you LOL, Gross Things, Tear Jerkers, Books that Make you Laugh, Family Favorites…. Set a goal for number of books to read or number of pages to read and keep track. Read to a younger neighbor, sibling or friend. Partner-read with an adult. **Look for the field trip form coming home for the end of the school year trip!
