Dear Parents and Guardians,
Young children make incredible progress during each school year. This summer, we
encourage you to continue to read with your child, not only to prevent the “summer slide,” but
also to foster a lifelong love of reading. Research has shown that children learn to read by
reading, and the more children read the better readers they become. For summer reading,
students should read Third Grade Angels by Jerry Spinelli, or Judy Moody and the Not Bummer
Summer by Meg McDonald. Fill out the graphic organizer attached for the story that you read.
Use that graphic organizer to write a summary of your story. Summaries should be at least 3-4
sentences long. Writing paper is attached to this packet.
Sincerely,
Miss Januse
