Reading during the summer helps children maintain and
expand the reading skills developed during the past school
year. Read lots of books aloud to your child and be sure to
choose books that your child wants to read. The library is a
great place to read and we encourage you to take your child
to the library and get him/her accustomed to the rules and
checking out books.
Happy Reading!
