Hello families and happy summer!
Research suggests that reading with
your child 15 - 30 minutes a day will improve your child's reading level. We,
at Pentucket Regional School District, strongly believe in this research....
and what better way to spend some quality time together?! Make the commitment
to read daily together and make a world of difference in your child's reading
success! What a gift to give your child!!!
√ Read
to your child every day.
√
Read books repeatedly,
exploring different aspects of the story.
√
Books that have repetitions
lend themself to inviting a child to "jump in." Invite them!
√
New words are opportunities
for vocabulary growth. Point them out!
√
Ask about the
pictures and about what is happening in the story. Predict (or infer) what may
happen next.
√
Explore different types of
children's books, including fairy tales, song books, poems, and informational
books.
√ Think
critically about what you are reading... what connections do you have with the
book? what is the underlying author's message in the story?
Most of all have fun learning
together!
Some students created booklists of
interests in their classrooms at the end of the year and others may rely on
our Pentucket Reads suggested authors and books. Here are our additional
suggested books that you can find at our local libraries or book store:
