Summer Reading is a Bundle of Fun!
Don’t forget…summer checkout for the ASIJ elementary library is June 6th-8th! Students and families can check out a maximum of 25 books each. Books are due back August 29th.
Every summer has a story…summer travels are about more than trips to the beach, theme parks, and camping. Take your children on unforgettable journeys in their imaginations with reading. All it takes is a “bundle of books” and a commitment to read every day. Vacation reading will keep students’ learning moving forward — and there’s no better time for them to develop a lifelong habit of finding pleasure in books.
So make books part of your vacation fun. What will your family’s summer reading “story” be?
Hundreds of books are free online too!

Reading Matters
“Kids who don’t have educationally rich summers will be nearly three years behind their peers by the time they reach the end of the fifth grade… Much like we would expect an athlete or a musician’s performance to suffer if they didn’t practice regularly, the same thing is true for young people when it comes to reading performance.”
— Ron Fairchild, Founding CEO, National Summer Learning Association
When visiting a library or bookstore this summer, I hope you find the following lists helpful. – Ms. Pretz ASIJ ES Librarian
