Soccer on Sunday

Dear Parent/Guardian, 

Our school is taking part in a special shared reading event. Every family has received a copy of the same book and will be asked to read it together at home over the next several weeks. 

Children of all grade levels will all be listening to the same book. Strange or daring as that may seem, it actually makes sound educational sense. Reading professionals recommend reading material out loud that is beyond a child’s own reading level. We also believe that you can and should continue reading chapter books with your older children, even when they are able to read by themselves. We have selected a title that can be understood and enjoyed by younger students, but will still captivate older children.

I know that you’ll enjoy this special reading time with your children. With your help, we can build a Community of Readers at our school. 

Thank you, Nancy Brock
