SUMMER READING GIFT FOR YOU

Dear Parents:

Stevenson-Britannia School is continuing our summer reading project this year.  We have partnered with “First Book Canada” to purchase books for you. Research shows that students can lose skills they have learned during the past year if they do not read daily over the summer. This is referred to as the “summer slide”. We want to help you to “battle” against the “summer slide” this year.

Every student from Kindergarten to Grade 5 has chosen stories to take home to read with you. These are your books to keep! There is no expectation for you to return these books in the fall. Feel free to give the books to others when you are finished with them. If at the end of the summer you would like to return/exchange these, or other books you have at home, bring them to school. We have a new Little Free Library out in front of the school, as well as a Parent Book Exchange out in front of the office at our Parent Corner.

Here is a brief video with some helpful tips for summer reading:

Wishing you the best for a fun and safe summer holiday. Happy Reading!
