At the primary level in
Encouraging reading can develop the literacy process. Students should be reading at a comfortable level and being read to at a level(s) above. Please peruse our suggested summer reading list to locate books at your child’s reading development level.
Do not forget to visit the local library and consult with the librarian in the children’s section. For added information, click on the link from American Library Association For Children (A division of the American Library Association) for Caldecott Medal winners and honorees.
