Library: News What a great year it has been! During this school year alone, our enthusiastic readers checked out over 11,000 books from our continually expanding collection. We now have over 15,000 books available to students and teachers. The library is closed during the break – but keep reading over the summer! According to reading specialists, year-round reading is especially important so that kids don’t undo the progress they’ve made over the previous school year. Summer reading is very important in developing life-long reading habits. Studies have repeatedly shown that children who continue to read during the summer months perform better when school resumes in the fall. Let children participate in choosing books to ensure that reading materials have a special interest to them. If your child has difficulty starting a book, read the first chapter together. Even older children enjoy being read to. Lead by example. Make sure your children see you regularly reading for pleasure. Turn reading into a family affair! Set aside designated times when everyone in the family can be reading and then share what everyone has learned by talking about books. To encourage summer reading, a revised ‘Recommended Reading’ list is now available on the library web page at http://www.ambrit-rome.com/library/summer.html.
