Summer Reading is Fun!
In first grade, children will begin putting together the letter sounds that they learned in kindergarten. A balance between picture books and early readers is a great way to give them a good foundation for reading. When using early readers, point to each word as you say it. This will help the child begin to recognize the process of reading. These are some great books to read over the summer.
