Home - Book Trust



Dear Parents,It’s not often that teachers get to send home a letter like this. I am excited to tell you that we have a national literacy support program called Book Trust at work in our classroom this year! Research shows that when kids choose their own reading material, they read more often and become better readers. Book Trust will help make that happen.Here’s how it works: Each month, your child and every student in our classroom will have the opportunity to order 1-3 books of their choosing from the Scholastic Book Club flyer, with guidance from their teachers. Every student gets to participate in the program and cultivate a love of reading for all!Once books are ordered, we’ll anxiously await their arrival, and we’ll make sure to celebrate when they come! Then we’ll dig in to our new books, explore what our classmates ordered, and then, we’ll send the books home for further enjoyment with family members.According to numerous studies, reading at least 20 minutes per night will help your child grow as a reader. Re-reading favorite books (or reading to parents, siblings, or even the family pet) and creating a special place to keep them contributes to a greater love of reading and success in school.Book Trust believes that choice, consistency and celebration around reading will help create a world in which literacy removes barriers and provides all children with tools to navigate life successfully. We are proud to partner with Book Trust to bring this literacy experience into your home. Starting this month, please set aside time each night to enjoy your child’s new books, and all the memories you’ll create as you read together.Happy reading! ................
