Dear Future Third Grader and Parents,
At the end of this school year you will no longer be a second grader. To assist you in getting ready
for third grade, your teachers have put together some reading activities to complete this summer. The
attached activity packet is due the first week of school in September. If you misplace your packet, you can
locate it on your school’s website listed below. The completion of the packet will be indicated on next year’s
first report card.
Your required activities are:
1. Read at least 4 books. One book should be non-fiction.
2. Write down the books you read on the reading log attached in this packet.
3. Pick your 4 favorite books. Complete one activity sheet for each book.
Enclosed is a list of suggested authors you might enjoy. The librarian at your local library can help
you choose books. You may also use any favorite books that you have at home. As you read, you may
listen to any of the titles on cassette tape, CD or a MP3 player, all of which are available to circulate from
local libraries. The Nyack and Valley Cottage libraries have a summer reading program along with many
free craft and activity programs for children of all ages. The theme of this summer’s reading program is
One World, Many Stories.
Enjoy the summer. Have fun reading.
Sincerely,
Ellen Rechenberger, Principal Dr. Anne Roberts, Principal Andrea Coddett, Principal
