Summer Reading 2013
Don't be a victim of summer reading loss! Research shows students can lose up to three months' worth of reading progress over one summer. Here are some tips to prevent summer reading loss.
To help you get started, we have added a Suggested Summer Reading List by Book Levels or you can always visit www.bookadventure.com to search for books that are available to quiz on for the Summer Reading Program.
For our Incoming Kindergarteners, we have also added a few things families can do to help get ready for the Fall along with a Suggested Summer Reading List.
Book Adventure Summer Program
This summer, we will be utilizing Book Adventure as our Summer Reading Program. Similar to Accelerated Reader; Book Adventure is a web-based reading motivational program that encourages children to read great books, and take quizzes. Book Adventure not only rewards children for reading, but also enables parents and teachers to track a child's progress and help develop his/her love of reading. This program will begin on June 8th and end on August 11th.

World Book presents...
The Secret Files of Professor L. Otto Funn!!
Our school library mission is to help every student develop a love of reading, to become a skilled user of ideas and information, and to explore the world through print and electronic media. So, we am pleased to introduce a new at-home product that helps achieve this mission.
As many of you know, new educational standards mandate that children at the earliest grade levels spend more time reading and understanding non-fiction content. The Secret Files of Professor L. Lotto Funn helps introduce students to science, history and cultural topics in engaging ways.
I feel confident recommending this new product because it is made by World Book, one of the most trusted names in educational publishing.
For a limited time, World Book is offering The Secret Files of Professor L. Lotto Funn directly to homes. It is not yet available in stores. During this period, a portion of the purchase price of every copy will be credited to our school to buy World Book products for our PPCES FSU Media Center!!!
