Throughout the summer holidays, students typically do not read the same quantity of texts read throughout the duration of the school term. As a result, it is not uncommon to see a decline in reading levels when students recommence classroom Guided Reading programs in the New Year.
In order to continue the Home Reading program, and attempt to maintain/increase student comprehension, Flinders Public School has established the ‘Summer Reading Challenge'.
This summer we encourage your child/ren to read and you to read to your child as often as possible.
Students engaging in the challenge will be presented with certificates in the New Year.
All participants who read in excess of 10 books and submit their reading challenge forms in Week 1-2018, will also go into the draw to win a prize. This prize will be drawn in Week 2.
Additional ‘Summer Reading Challenge' forms are available on the school website. We hope you enjoy participating in the challenge and look forward to working with you and your child in 2018!
