Summer/Vacation Reading List
Dear Parent and Student,
Reading is a very crucial element to any child’s academics, including all subject areas. Naturally when there is an extended break in their academic schedule they have a tendency to not read as often. Please help me encourage your child to read as many books as possible over vacation periods such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and summer vacation. I have compiled a list of what I would consider exceptional juvenile literature if you need some where to get started. Thank you so much for all of your help.
Ms. Carrie Tabor
P.S. Sharon Creech is my favorite children's author so there are a lot on my list written by her.
