Parents/Guardians, 

Happy Summer! This letter is to explain your child’s Summer Reading Assignment.  Reading is essential in a child’s education.  Research has shown that “Unless students read regularly during school breaks, they can fall behind 3 months in the reading achievement.  Students who read several books throughout the summer are shown to maintain or increase their reading ability”.

Listed below are the 2 books I have selected for your child to read over the summer.  The books are available at your local libraries, or for purchase at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or Half.com.  

• Last Stop on Market Street By: Matt de la Pena

• Dory Fantasmagory By: Abby Hanlon (This book is a series with lots of other books if your child really liked it!)

Thank you very much for your cooperation!
