The early childhood reading list was designed with the wide range of your children’s interests in mind. Consulting homeroom teachers, and using many months of student responses to the books in library read alouds, we made selections based on several criteria. For the picture books, we have taken into account not only reading tastes but also building reading skills, LREI’s mission of diversity, and the all-important standard of just plain fun. The chapter books offer another sort of opportunity as well, a chance for parents and children to share ideas and the love of a good story. Enjoy, and feel free to contact me in the library with questions or comments. Jesse Karp 4s and EK Reading List
LOWER SCHOOL Welcome to the 2008 Librarians’ Selected Reading Lists for Lower School. You will notice a few changes this year! Firstly, as a part of LREI’s green initiative, our lists are being distributed electronically! Secondly, these lists are not called “Summer Reading” any longer. The reason for this is that we believe strongly in reading for pleasure during the entire year, and we hope that you will return to these lists over time and not only during the months of July and August. While this is not required reading, this is a list of some of our favorite selections. We invite you to take a few moments with your child to find some titles that look interesting to you and your family. Please note that these lists may either overlap or differ from suggestions or requirements from your child’s classroom teachers. If you have questions, please see teachers for choices targeted to the interests and level of your particular child. The reading lists are now formatted into Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary categories. Children read in such a wide range, and feeling limited to a grade level may mean that some fantastic book choices get missed. Many older readers find pleasure in reading sophisticated picture books, and many younger readers enjoy sitting with a caregiver and being read to. These are examples of how reading for pleasure differs from child to child. As in prior years, there are many new titles on this list. Curriculum, diverse content, parent and teacher feedback, annual awards, and the material that LREI librarians read each year inform books on the lists. Since no reading list can be comprehensive, please look to the public libraries in the area for additional guidance. Have fun and happy reading!
