December Newsletter


Reading Survey

  

We know how strongly you support our work in helping children achieve high reading goals. Research shows that children who read often, in school and out, become better readers. We encourage children to check out books from our school library, and hope you are able to allow them to do the same from our public libraries.
In order to assess the home library needs of our students, we are asking you to return this newsletter to school by Friday, December 9th. After we compile all the information we receive, we hope to be able to send books home with children to bolster their in-home libraries.

Child’s Name: _______________________________
My child owns…
      Less than 5 children’s books

     10 - 20 children’s books
