Summer Reading
Dear
Parents, Statistics show that children who read daily improve their reading
skills, comprehension, and test scores.
The best way for a child to be a successful reader with good
comprehension is to read, read, and read some more, and talk about the
reading. Here is a website that is
helpful for finding the “just right” books for your child to read over the
summer: Google – leveled book list go to the 3rd one down that says
“leveled book list” http://home.comcast.net/~ngiansante/ The lists can be overwhelming since they show
many titles for different levels. 1. Click
on the appropriate grade level 2. Look through list and choose books that are
on the easy reading level for your child. The levels of books shown on this
website are Guided Reading levels, which are instructional levels. You want your child to have fun this summer
and read on the independent, easy
level. For Example, if your child’s
instructional level is Level J, Grade level 2.00, go down a level or two for
easy, fun reading.
P.A.W.S...
Mrs. Hanna
and Mrs. Patton would like to recognize their volunteers: Michelle Meador and Donna Lattanze. Thank you for all you do!

your child to bring the medication home with them. Many of these medications are expensive and
we are required to dispose of them if they are not picked up by the last day of

plan this year because of asthma, food allergies, diabetes, or any other

be downloaded from the Prince William Coutny Schools website.

children to borrow if they are ill, have an accident, or need a change of
clothes due to rips or spills. These

child borrowed clothing from the clinic this year please be sure and return the
items prior tot the last day of school.
