Parents and Families, We celebrate the summer season by embracing the longer days, enjoying time together, and reflecting on all the hard work that brought us to the close of another academic year at ESM. Fostering a love for reading is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Our work at school and at home will strengthen students’ skills as readers and also help our children see the true value in reading. We want our students to be lifelong readers and learners. The School Library Journal (Fiore and Roman, 2010) reports that students who take part in a summer reading program can significantly improve their reading skills. Researchers found that students who participate in these programs performed significantly better on standardized tests and in class. It is our goal that ESM students will read 20 minutes a day, or 17hours or more this summer! The grade level summer reading lists have been established to help guide families in choosing books to read this summer that are engaging and appropriately challenging. While this is not a required list, reading from the lists will help prepare your child for the academic expectations for the upcoming school year. There are multiple titles under each category to provide options. The suggested activities have also been included to encourage reading comprehension and reflection. The reading title list is not exhaustive. Therefore, if you need further suggestions in a particular genre you are encouraged to reach out to Ms. Irwin who will be available throughout the summer. We have a variety of resources to support a summer of reading. Visit your local library to borrow the books on the suggested reading lists, or participate in your library’s summerlong learning activities. You can also download free electronic books through your library’s website or on ICONN using your library card. Tumblebooks is another great online resource (username: esms/ password: books). We all look forward to hearing about all the great books you read. Have a wonderful summer!
