Kindergarten - Grade 3 - Summer Reading Requirements
All students entering grades K - 3 must read at least five books over the summer, but don’t stop there. Most students read many more books. Be sure to read books you love that are just right books.
Parents, please encourage your child to read and listen to books every day for 30 minutes. Research shows that students who read over the summer maintain their reading skills, and in many cases can improve their fluency, vocabulary and understanding.
The Brookline Public Schools Summer Reading list prepared by the library department is available at: http://brooklinesummerreading.weebly.com. Students are encouraged to use this as one source for good books, but they may also choose books that follow their own interests. All kinds of books count - joke books, cook books, books about pets or places, books shared with parents, books with directions for making art projects, poetry books, world record books and more.
Parents may want to have their child join the Summer Reading program at their local library. The local library program this year is called, “On Your Mark, Get Set...READ!” Stop in and find out more about their summer programs for children. They have great books and audiotapes, prizes and an ice cream party!
Students should record the titles of the books they read on the Student Reading Record Form, and parents should sign the list before submitting it to school in the fall. You can find a record form to print out below.
