Pre-Kindergarden—Grado 4
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Reading, reading, reading –yes, it’s true, reading every day, each night, on the weekend and during the sum-
mer –reading is the key to your child’s academic development.
Read alongside your child. Read to your child, ask your child to read to you. Read in English, Spanish, or any
language you choose. Try more than one language.
Read the newspaper, magazines, children’s literature, non-fiction, poetry, recipes, and advertisements. Even
street signs!
Reading is both fun and useful. Folktales, sports news, fashion news, business news, celebrity gossip, and
comics –it all has value. The main thing is to make it a habit.
Reading books of interest is especially valuable to our children. Our Project Summer Read helps to make it
easier to select books, for a full summer of reading.
The schools send home an “envelope” with reading resources in it to get started. Please note the books
listed are suggestions for summer reading. Students are encouraged to read other books by the authors
listed, additional books in a series, and books recommended by the librarians. The “envelope” also includes
resources for accessing books and information on the computer. Raz-Kids, Tumblebooks, Bookflix are exam-
ples of sites that have electronic books.
The public library will help you find the books. Local book stores will help, too.
Many parents ask: “What can I do to help my child be a better student?”
Answer: Read, read, read!
Encourage your child to read this summer. Read together. Read on vacation! Make it a fun family activity!
Have a peaceful and safe summer. We look forward to seeing you and your children in September.
Sincerely,
Chris Clouet

Estimado Padre/Guardian,
Leer, leer, leer – si, es verdad, la lectura diaria, todas las noches, los fines de semana y durante el vera-
no – la lectura es la clave para el desarrollo académico de su niño.
Lea al lado de su niño. Léale a su niño, pídale a su niño que le lea a usted. Lean en Inglés, Español o en
cualquier otro idioma que usted elija. Traten más de un idioma.
Lea el periódico, revistas, literatura para niños, no-ficción, poesía, recetas y anuncios. Incluso las se-
ñales de las calles!
La lectura es ambos divertida y útil. Leyendas, noticias de deportes, noticias de modas, noticias de
negocios, chismes de las celebridades y cómicos – todos tiene su valor. Lo principal es hacerlo un
hábito.
Leer libros de interés es especialmente valioso para nuestros niños. Nuestro Proyecto de Lectura de
Verano ayuda a facilitar la selección de libros, para un verano completo de lectura.
Para comenzar, las escuelas mandan a casa un “sobre” con recursos para la lectura. Por favor noten
que los libros en la lista son sugeridos para lectura durante el verano. Animamos a los estudiantes a
que lean otros libros escritos por otros autores en la lista, otros libros en la serie, y libros recomen-dados por las bibliotecarias. El “sobre” también incluye recursos para acceder libros e información en
la computadora. Raz-Kids, Tumblebooks, Bookflix son ejemplos de sitios que tienen libros electróni-
cos.
La biblioteca pública lo ayudará a buscar los libros. Las tiendas de libros locales también lo ayudarán
Muchos padres preguntan: “¿Qué puedo hacer para ayudar a mi niño a ser un mejor estudiante?”
Contesta: Lean, lean, lean!
Exhorte a su niño a leer este verano. Lean juntos. Lean durante las vacaciones! Haga de esto una
actividad familiar!
Que tengan un verano tranquilo y seguro. Esperamos verlos a usted y a su niño en Septiembre.
Atentamente,
Chris Clouet
