Summer Reading ProgramFor Students Entering KindergartenDivision of Academic ServicesDepartment of Humanities3409958934450Paterson Public Schools6477008782050Elementary Summer Reading Assignment (Students entering Kindergarten)Dear Parents/Students,All K-12 students attending the Paterson Public Schools will have the opportunity to select books that they are interested in and motivated to read during the summer. Our aim is to keep students connected to reading habits and comprehension skills that were introduced during the school year, with the ultimate goal of building a love for reading within your child.For our incoming kindergarten students, since most children will not be able to read independently, we encourage you to read with your child and engage in meaningful conversations about the lessons in the texts as frequently as possible during the summer. Since literature provides parents with invaluable opportunities to engage in meaningful, relevant conversations with their children about life experiences, we are providing you with a list of books to help your child prepare for the transition to kindergarten this fall.While reading with your child this summer, we are asking that you keep a reading log of those books read with your child, as this is a practice that will continue into kindergarten. Further, we ask that your child choose one of the books read to him/her and create the attached picture retelling of the text. The skill of retelling a text in the order the events/details are shared with the reader is a skill that your child will be asked to demonstrate as his/her schooling continues. Both the reading log and picture retelling should be sent to school with your son/daughter on their first day of kindergarten.Additionally, we encourage you to get a virtual library card for Paterson Public Library by visiting . By obtaining a virtual library card you can use your library card to borrow audiobooks, ebooks, magazines, movies and music for ANY age, 24/7!For more detailed information, please review the packet to best prepare your child for success in their reading journey or visit our district website paterson.k12.nj.us. Wishing you a wonderful summer filled with reading!Kindergarten Reading ListTitleAuthorTopicWilma Jean the Worry MachineJulia CookAnxietyWemberly WorriedKevin HenkesAnxietyA Sick Day for Amos McGeePhillip SteadCaring/CompassionBear Feels SickKarma WilsonCaring/CompassionThose ShoesMaribeth BoeltsCaring/CompassionBig AlAndrew ClementsCharacter EducationChicken BigKeith GravesCharacter EducationBrave IreneWilliam SteigCourageHoward Wigglebottom Learns About CourageHoward Binkow & Susan F.
