RSU21 Summer Reading Tips
Preschool to Fifth Grade:Don’t leave home without a book or magazine. Long car ride? Take an audio book along for the ride. Pick books that are at the right level.
Ask your teacher or local librarian for assistance. Ditch the tv and video games and create cozy reading nooks inside (and outside!) of your home. Ask your child quesDons about the story they’ve read. Most importantly, read with your child everyday!!
Sixth to Eighth Grade:Talk! Talk! Talk! Tell your child family stories or make up a story. Write! Write! Write! Have your child create your grocery list or send postcards to friends and family members describing a recent event or ouDng. Encourage your child to read to others – whether that be a younger sibling, cousin, or pet! Don’t know the definiDon of a word? No problem! Crack open a dicDonary together and teach them its power. Read with or alongside your child – every day!
