Lower Division Summer Reading and Reading Award Requirements One of the best ways to instill a love of reading in young children is to share the reading experience with your child. Over the summer, your child(ren) will read ​three books as part of the summer reading program. One book has been selected by the classroom teacher. Please help your child select the second book from the summer reading list corresponding to the grade they will be entering in the fall. The third book may be any title that your child chooses to read on his/her grade level. Rising first and second graders may read independently or with a parent. As your child completes his/her summer reading selections, please make a list of the books read including the title and author of each book. This list will be due on the first day of school and must be signed by a parent. This summer reading program is required of all students who have completed any of the grades K-5 and is also required to earn the end of the year Reading Award. Reflections on summer reading will be part of the classroom activities during the first week of school. Rising kindergarten students will be required to participate in a guided reading program to include 5 books at the emergent level of reading. Please make a list of the books you read with your child including the title and author of each book. This list will be due on the first day of school and must be signed by a parent. Completion of this assignment by kindergarten students earns a Certificate of Accomplishment.
