Summer Reading Program
Dear Parent or Guardian, We have made incredible progress this school year. Thank you for your invaluable support and partnership, which helps to ensure that your child and all of our students succeed inside and outside of the classroom. The Scholastic Unified School District is pleased to give each child a summer reading take-home pack to motivate students to read this summer. Each pack includes engaging books, reading and writing activities, and tips to help you make the most of summer reading opportunities. Ongoing practice throughout the summer will help your child gain the necessary skills to flourish in school. The book packs will give you an opportunity to spend quality time with your child while also strengthening his or her reading comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking and conversational skills. The goals of our
summer reading take-home program are simple: • Encourage students to become lifelong readers
• Teach students how to think critically about what they’re reading • Connect students and families with local libraries, book stores, and community organizations • Expose students to different types of authors and characters • Help students develop reading and writing skills through different types of reading experiences
Research proves that families play an important role in building and maintaining reading skills, especially over the summer months. On behalf of the Scholastic Unified School District, we hope that you and your family have a restful summer and embrace the joy and power of reading.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cristina Dunn Superintendent of School, Scholastic Unified School District
