Book in the Bag

Every Friday, your child will receive two library books in a book bag. These books are for you to enjoy with your child and to encourage reading at home. Use this time to ask your child questions as you read (some examples are below).

Please return these books every Friday (or the last day of the week) in the book bag, and your child will exchange them for new ones. PLEASE TREAT THESE BOOKS WITH CARE AND RETURN THEM EVERY WEEK.
