Summer Reading Note from the PS Librarian,
Ms. Sarah Jenkins (new name, same librarian)
I hope everyone is excited for a summer full of reading! Our school provides suggested book titles for every grade to encourage summer reading. During the year, I cultivate a list of my favorite finds from the previous year that are best suited to each age level in Preschool. The lists feature books that are diverse in both style and content, so hopefully you will find something that will connect with your student. You are not required to read the books on this list - the most important thing is that students read all summer and are enjoying it. Rereading favorites is also encouraged! We recommend your student tries to read 20 books over the summer. Additional book suggestions can be found in either the K3 or K4 lists on the summer learning website.
