Dear WPCS Families,This summer, WPCS is using a calendar format for summer reading and math learning. To connect our last “regular” summer with an upcoming one that is filled with optimism, let’s get ready to?“Blast Off”?to bigger and better things during the 2021-22 school year! The?goal of 2021 Summer Learning?is simple: get your child/children to read and expose them to books, as many as you can find, and look for a variety of topics, characters, and themes! In order to support your child’s growth as a reader and problem solver, they should be reading and mathing independently each day. This summer, we are providing books for reading and we are encouraging students to read whatever is of interest to them. As stated above, the message is simple:?get your child/children to read and expose them to books, as many as you can find! The attached letter provides a variety of resources to access in order to locate booksHere are a couple of points to highlight from the attached letter in support of book/activity selection:Join your Public Library?–?As we embark upon the summer, many public libraries are opening their doors back up. If you are not already a member, consider joining your Public Library. This is a great way for children to be exposed to a wealth of books, spread across a variety of genres!Delaware County Public Library: They have created a?Summer Quest for students, where they can earn badges and small prizes.?Website:? a Just Right Books:?Use the Five Finger Rule: Read the first page of your book:? 0-1 errors, too easy; 2-3 errors, just right; 4-5 errors, too hard.??(SEE GRAPHIC ON THE BACK OF THIS LETTER- attached to message)Websites:????? ?? ?? ?(free on-line books) ?books??(free on-line books)EPIC:?Use the link provided and have your child sign in to their account from their class this year- it will be active all summer. ?
