Be Creative with Reading and Writing!!
Summer Reading and Writing Calendars, 2009
June 2009
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This time of year the question that I am most often asked is, "What can I do to help my child continue reading and writing during the summer?" In answer, our school is offering annual Summer Reading and Writing Calendars to students. Our theme this summer is “Be Creative with Reading and Writing!!” The activities included on the calendars offer students opportunities to read and write for various purposes and outcomes. Library visits are also part of the weekly schedules. The calendars can easily be used in conjunction with the Montgomery County Department of Public Libraries' program entitled "Summer Reading 2009: Be Creative!" providing incentives to keep students reading and writing during the summer months.
The requirements for successfully completing the Summer Reading Calendars are simple. Students will set goals to earn rewards for their reading and writing efforts. Details are included with this letter. They are also required to read a minimum of three days a week for 15 to 20 minutes. Students may buy or make a journal to record their writings and titles of books read. In September, students return their completed journals to me for Recognition and Celebration. I hope to see your child at our special celebration!
