Next
week I start talking to grades 5, 6 and 7 about our Summer Reading
Program - Catch the Reading Bug. Knowing that everyone wants time for
summer fun, I keep the program simple. Just fill out a Reading Log of
everything you read over the summer that's longer than a cereal box.
Create your own rating system. Use stars or ice cream cones or bugs
to describe how well you liked the book. Turn in your reading log
when you come back to school by the day after Labor Day and win
prizes. It's easy! All information and form will be available on the
Lakeview Library webpage beginning June 1st.
To
help students get started, everyone is invited to check out up to 5
paperback books for the entire summer!. These books are not due until
September 3rd (the day after Labor Day). The IMC has a huge paperback
collection due to many donations and to our participation in the
Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award Program. There are many
multiple copy titles, so friends can enjoy the same book and discuss
it over the summer. If students want to return books early, there
will be a box between the front doors. When I come in during the
summer I will check in any returned books so they will be off the
student's record. This is a great way to enjoy books missed during
the school year and keep reading. Sooooooo CATCH THE READING BUG and
have a fun-filled summer!
