Ambrit Library Summer Reading

summer fun

Over the summer break is it very important to keep reading.  Reading is one of the best ways to build a bigger vocabulary and to expand one's background knowledge -- besides, reading is just plain enjoyable!  

Below are some of the most popular books checked out by Ambrit students during the school year as well as some new titles that we added to our collection over the year.   Remember, though, that reading is reading -- older students who enjoy newspapers and magazines are reading too, and that is the most important thing!
