Summer Reading
How to avoid the dreaded Summer
Reading Slide...(when reading skills go down a bit but really they could
go up)!
1) Here is a great chart we made describing places to read this summer!
2) Raz-Kids and Book-Flix (remember to use your library barcode
which is on a sticker on the inside of your child’s agenda) will work all
summer and have been purchased by the board for your child's usage. In the
fall, your child's account will be moved to their new classroom account by
their teacher. You don't have to do anything but log on! Here are the links:
3)Try ‘Storyline on-line’ http://www.storylineonline.net/ – this is a great link that has famous
people reading well known stories. Check out James Earl Jones reading ‘To be a
Drum’. I really enjoyed his introduction where he talks about his dyslexia and
stuttering as a child.
4) Make reading part of your summer fun! Reading Reading
5) Model reading for your child. Read the newspaper or read
on-line blogs! Discuss what you have read!
6) Travel, read, write, journal! Create experiences for your child
that makes them want to read and
write. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
Have you
ever been to the Cheltenham badlands in Caledon?
(If you do go here, I would highly recommend visiting the 'Spirit Tree Cidery and bakery for lunch and trying the squash, feta pizza or pear cider) I have no affiliation to this business but I do like good food :) The Cidery is very close to the 'Badlands' Here is a link for Spirit Tree http://www.spirittreecider.com/
Have you
ever been to Webster's or Tiffany Falls
How about
kayaking to Princess Point?
What about visiting the Donkey Sanctuary in Guelph
A very good friend of mine runs a blog entitled 'Dundas Valley

always adding new books. Here is where you can find this list:
