Dear Teacher, Welcome to summer! During this summer session, you and your students will dive into three big themes of summer: Exploration (exploring the world), All of Us (spending time with friends and family), and Good Reads (enjoying a set of books with the same genre focus). As you can see from the contents of your Scholar Zone Summer: Reading and Writing boxes, you and your students will immerse yourselves in a rich collection of fiction and nonfiction titles, including informational texts, mysteries, and humorous fiction. Some of these books you’ll read aloud; others you’ll use in teacher-led reading instruction; and others are reserved for children to read in their Book Club Libraries. During this summer session, students will engage in a variety of activities to strengthen their literacy skils: • Listen as you read aloud books • Discuss big ideas with the class • Work with you in small groups on their reading skills and strategies • Interact with their peers in small Book Club Library meetings • And throughout, write about what they’ve read This Teacher’s Guide will guide you as you work with your students to help them enjoy the summer—and improve their reading and writing.
Welcome to summer—and to Scholar Zone Summer: Reading and Writing!
