Reading is extremely important at every grade level. I strongly believe every family should read with their children and encourage them to read on their own. Students can borrow from Lincoln's library, my class library and Emmaus library without cost. A great, low cost option for buying books is the Scholastic book clubs. Every catalog at every reading level is available when ordering online.
All orders get submitted on the due date (the 20th) and books come about 7-10 days after that.
I encourage parents to use the online option. It is secure (I use my own credit card each month to pay for cash orders) and easy. Our class gets a free book with every parent online order and you can shop extra catalogs. Students don't lose the orders and they are on time.
