Dear Parents and Students of District 57,

Summer should be filled with lots of activities that get children out of doors and enjoying rigorous exercise. However, rainy days, lazy days, and evenings should be filled with books. Continuing the reading habit through the summer is key to your child becoming a successful reader. This brochure is designed to help you keep the literacy fire burning all year long by providing some suggestions of books for your child to read this summer.

Please see attached brochure for reading list.
