Fort Lee Public Schools Summer Reading 2020 Fort Lee Public Schools Summer Reading 2020 Dear Parents and Guardians, All Fort Lee educators are committed to cultivating a passion for reading. According to the National Institute of Education (1988), “…the amount of reading done out of school is consistently related to gains in reading achievement.” Reading also enables us to expand our horizons and develop new ideas. As this academic year comes to a close, we encourage all students to read over the summer break. With the assistance of our school librarians, we’ve provided some recommendations here, but there are so many more wonderful books for students of all ages to explore. With your guidance, students can select anything they want to read (books, magazines, graphic novels, Ebooks, audio books, picture books, etc ), even if they do not appear on this list. We do understand that some books might be dicult for some students to read independently at this time. This is a perfect opportunity for you to read with your child, an experience we all loved and cherished ourselves in our childhood. What we ask is for students to read, read often, and read a lot! Students who submit documentation of their summer reading will receive a certificate for their participation in the fall. Here’s how students can record their summer reading: 1. Join the Fort Lee Public Library’s “Summer with the Virtual Library” program.. Go to https://fortleelibrary.org/ for details about how to register. 2. Print and fill out the summer reading log provided in this packet. Students must return the completed reading log to their teacher by September 18th. Summer reading is a valuable opportunity to demonstrate that reading is not just part of school, but it is a key contributor to lifelong learning. Have a safe, wonderful summer and HAPPY READING!
