  • 4-5 Summer Reading Lists 2009
    Grades The Pingry School Short Hills Campus 4-5 Summer Reading Lists 2009 Postcards to the Library June 2009 Dear Parents, The Pingry School Library has a tradition of providing summer reading book lists for our students. We strongly encourage them to read a selection of books from their list during the summer. Reading for pleasure during this time will continue the development of reading skills so that no ground is lost over the summer and will help to instill a love of reading that will last a lifetime. Attached is the suggested summer reading list for your child’s grade level. Reading levels vary within a grade, so there are both challenging selections and easy-to-read titles on the list. Students may choose to read any title from the list and may read as many books as their schedules allow. Students are not expected to read all the books on the list. The list is divided into fiction, nonfiction, poetry, folktales, and biographies and the titles are annotated to help in the selection process. You may wish to read other books by the same author that are not on the list. Hopefully, every child will find something to spark their interest. Please encourage the use of the reading log in the back of the booklet to record the titles of all the books read during the summer. We ask that every student send picture postcards to the library letting us know the titles of the books they are reading and how they are enjoying their vacation. See the next page for details on the Postcards to the Library Program.

Though he waited patiently, the air buzzed with speculation as to what he would announce. At the annual meeting only a two years earlier, Melcher had introduced “Children’s Book Week” to the American Library Association, which he had created with Franklin W. Matthews, chief librarian of the Boy Scouts of America. The recognition of a Children’s Book Week suggested, for the first time, that libraries devote shelf space to children’s books and raise awareness of these books in their collections.
