Dear Parents and Families:

As we know reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are.  Let’s continue developing strong reading skills and a love for reading with our children.  Scholastic suggests:

·      Set the example. Let children see you read.

·      Have a collection of books in your home. Update this collection routinely to keep     up with changing tastes and reading skills.

·      Support your school’s Book Fair. Allow your children to choose their own books         to read.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into your school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits.
