June 2015
Dear Families,
Reading, like any other skill, improves with practice. This suggested reading list includes a variety of
reading levels and interests compiled by the school and public librarians for elementary school
students. We hope you enjoy these titles this summer, and throughout the next school year as well.
To help your child find a beginning reader or chapter book that matches his or her reading ability,
ask your child to read a page to you. If he or she has difficulty with more than five words on the
page, the independent reading level of the book may be too difficult. Another book with simpler
vocabulary, larger text, or more illustrations per chapter might better suit your child. However,
reading to and with your child is always beneficial and enjoyable.
Our hope is that this list will provide your child with a starting point when visiting your public library,
local bookstore, or a friend’s bookshelf. We encourage you to read above and beyond this list as per
your child’s interest. The public library’s children’s librarians look forward to further assisting you in
finding books for your child.
Encourage your child to set goals for reading this summer. Choose a few titles from this list and
check them off as your child reads each book. This year’s summer reading program at the
Wallingford Public Library has a goal set for reading 600 minutes. If you reach this, try for the 1,200
minute challenge! Make reading a part of your daily summer routine!
Whether your child is still emerging as a reader or is proficient at reading, continue to read to them.
We believe as parents and readers ourselves that you will enjoy reading many of these titles
together. Most importantly, have fun reading!

The Wallingford Public Library Presents:
A Summer Reading Program for students who are entering grades 1-6.
Don’t just read, create!
This summer, join us to explore all the wonders books have to offer.
All readers can register online, at home or at the library, beginning June 1st, and can start logging their books after school on
June 19th. To register, go to the Library’s website www.wallingfordlibrary.org and click on the Summer Reading Logo. You
will be asked to create a username and password to access your summer reading account. Prizes will be available for pick up
beginning June 29th.
Once your summer reading account is created (and confirmed by a parent), you will be able to start logging how much time
you spend reading this summer. This year’s online program will keep track of both the titles of the books you read and the
amount of time you spend reading.
100 minutes of reading will earn you your first prize. As you continue to read and log your books, you will earn more prizes
and unlock fun challenges! Once you have read and logged 600 minutes, you will have officially completed the Summer
Reading Program. BUT, if you continue to read, there are more prizes in store! Reading 1200 minutes will earn you a chance
to win a Kindle or one of our other BIG prizes!
There are two ways to participate in the fun:

Log your reading online and collect prizes as you continue to read until the program officially ends on August 22nd.

If you wish, your continued reading also allows you to participate in our online summer challenges! Some
challenges can be completed outside the Library, but some will involve stopping by the Library to hunt for clues.
More information about these challenges can be found on your summer reading page once you’ve signed up for an
account.
Important Note to Parents:
This year’s online summer reading program requires you to verify your child’s account via email before it can be used. Once
the account is created, an email will be automatically sent to the email address you provide with a link to click to verify the
account. You will also have the option to set up a parent account which will allow you to access all of your children’s
summer reading accounts on one page. Please call or stop by the Children’s Desk if you have questions or encounter any
problems with the set up process.
