Edgewood ISD-Suggested Summer Reading List
May 2016
Dear Parents,
This list includes titles of books that your child will enjoy. These
titles were selected by the Language Arts Department of the
Edgewood Independent School District because they are interesting,
engaging, and award winning books.
Independent reading is one of the most influential factors for
student educational success. For preschoolers, an indicator of their
future school success is the involvement of parents reading to their
children. In high school independent reading produces increases in
vocabulary, which in turn improves student performance and helps
them to meet the demands of college.
We are providing this list as a starting point to assist you in
selecting grade appropriate books for your child. Please help your
child select several of these books to read throughout the summer.
Your involvement and review of their selections is also an important
factor in a successful reading experience.
This summer we our asking our students to READ! READ!
READ! This will assist in effective literacy development and lifelong
learning. Please help us. Encourage your child to read every day. It
really does make a difference!
Sincerely,
The Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Department
of the Edgewood Independent School District
Edgewood ISD- Lista sugerida de lectura
mayo de 2016
Estimados padres,
Adjunto verá una lista de libros que creemos que su hijo
disfrutará leyendo. Esta lista fue confeccionada por el Departamento
de Lenguaje del Distrito y contiene libros que los niños encontrarán
interesantes. Algunos de ellos han ganado premios por su calidad.
La lectura personal es uno de los factores más importantes del
proceso educativo. Uno de los indicadores más claros del éxito
escolar es la experiencia de la lectura con los padres a edad
temprana. En la educación secundaria, la lectura personal ayuda a
incrementar el vocabulario, lo cual es un elemento que contribuye a
mejorar la expresión escrita y los resultados académicos en la
universidad.
Revise esta lista con su hijo y seleccione varios libros para leer
este verano. Su participación en la selección de las lecturas es
también importante.
En verano siempre pedimos a los alumnos que LEAN, LEAN y
LEAN. Ayúdenos animando a su hijo a leer todos los días.
Atentamente,
Departamento de Currículo
Distrito Escolar Independiente de Edgewood
