I can’t believe there are only 2 weeks left of school this year! This will be my last blog post for the year and I wanted to highlight our school Summer Reading program. Make a copy of this slideshow here with your child’s name in it- eg. “Bobby’s 2023 Summer Reading.” Summer Reading 2023
In the slideshow you will find some photo challenges, eg. “take a picture of yourself reading at a park.” If your child completes at least 9 of the 12 reading challenges, he/she will receive an HHCS Seal at the end of year Awards Assembly. What counts as reading? Reading individually, reading with a family member, reading books, reading articles- you decide! When the challenge is completed, email it to me, Mrs. Baillargeon, at l.baillargeon@hh-cs.org.
GROWING READERS TIP- GET AND USE A LIBRARY CARD
A library card is free and you can use thousands and thousands of resources in and out of the public library at no cost to you. Your child can get his/her own library card too. It’s a great way to teach a child about responsibility and to help him/her discover a whole new world in books.
Check out this amazing resource from Growing Book by Book for more ideas to keep your kids engaged in reading this summer!
