MONDOVI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
2017 SUMMER READING
For Students Entering Grade 2
You must read a MINIMUM of 10 “good fit” age appropriate books.
June 2017
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy quality time with friends and family. It is
also an opportune time to read together, enjoying stories and learning new
information from books. When parents/guardians read books with their children,
they are building language and new knowledge with their loved ones. They also
create wonderful memories and experiences which stay with children for many
years.
The Mondovi Public School reading list includes a variety of authors and types
of books for your perusal. Please encourage your child to explore different types of
books. Read with your child or invite your child to read quietly for at least 20
minutes a day.
Your child’s teacher will be eager to see what books he or she has read. Also, if
there is a book or series that your child particularly enjoys, encourage him/her to
record the titles of these books as well, as that will help us develop next year’s list.
We encourage you to visit the Mondovi Public Library, where our town
librarians are looking forward to helping you select books from the list. Reading
can take you on adventures, broaden your experiences and make you laugh. It can
also open up new worlds and opportunities that will enhance your life. We wish all
this for you as you leave for summer vacation.
Happy reading!
Mrs. Debra Isaacson
