MONDOVI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

2017 SUMMER READING

For Students Entering Kindergarten

4K to 5K

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
