Welcome to My Books Summer
“Summer reading means academic achievement!” My Books Summer (MBS) is a collection of “I-want-to-read-it!” take-home books and activity sheets (Think Sheets) for students in grades pre-K through 12. My Books Summer at-a-Glance: • The books in each grade’s collection were specially chosen to appeal to a range of readers’ interests and reading levels. They are your child’s to keep! • MBS is designed to keep your child reading all summer long— not because they have to read but because they want to read! • Together, books and activity sheets have been proven to help your child retain—even improve—reading skills! (Did you know that the equivalent of two months of reading skills can be lost after a summer without books? The good news is it only takes two to three hours of reading per week to prevent that loss!) • MBS builds important literacy skills and keeps readers on track for the school year ahead. What Can You Do? To be truly e ective, My Books Summer needs one special ingredient, something that’s more important than the support materials or even the books themselves. YOU! You and your family can help your child develop a lifelong love of reading. It’s true! Having books in your home is great, but having people at home who are excited to help kids get the most out them? That’s gold! We See You! We know you’re busy. Maybe you aren’t sure how to motivate your reader to put away the screens and dive into a book. Don’t worry—we’re here for you. This guide has the information and resources you need to help your reader engage in a meaningful and enriching way. Summertime is family time—and the perfect time to build literacy skills! Let’s get started—together!
Happy reading, Your friends at Scholastic
