Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):

Summer fun is just beginning for your family.  As you begin to plan your child’s summer activities, we hope that you will continue to make reading a part of the fun.  The Salem School District believes summer reading is a valuable experience for all students and an important extension of our educational programs.  Reading is one of the most important factors in academic success, a skill that is basic to all areas of the curriculum - a skill that improves with practice.  Summer reading is intended to be an enjoyable experience.  While helping to keep students connected to learning during the summer vacation, it supports our objective that each student becomes a life-long reader and learner.

Above you will find some suggestions of books that we hope your child may enjoy.  These books are available at Salem’s Kelley Library. Please note that these titles are only suggestions.  There are many other wonderful books to be discovered by your child and you.  Many of the suggested authors have written other books in addition to the book titles listed.

This summer, Kelley Library will once again be offering a summer reading program.  Local bookstores may also have programs to support summer reading.  We urge you to take advantage of these opportunities to maintain and enhance your child’s reading skills.

Wishing you a wonderful summer,

Diane Johnson

Director of Literacy
