Incoming Kindergarten

Summer Book Report for incoming Kindergarten. Book choice and Report below. 

This is due the first day of school for the students.

Please pick an age-appropriate book for Kindergarten that you select with your child. This is a great opportunity for your child to share a favorite story and practice talking about books they enjoy.

Some appropriate books for a 5-year-old include simple picture books, familiar stories, or books with repetitive text and clear illustrations.

Thank you for your support!

If you’d like it more casual or more formal, I can adjust the tone 😊
