They don’t know where to get books to read with the school library closed.
Kids aren’t motivated to read because they don’t have the support of their teachers or librarians.
Parents cite summer as the most difficult time to ensure that their children have productive things to do.
+KMS Library Summer Reading Mission

Create an environment that creates excitement for reading.

Summer Reading Contest
+Kirby’s Mill Goal Our first school goal was to read 100,000 minutes from
May 5th to September 5th. We made that goal in less than 3 weeks!
Our new school goal is to read over 200,000 minutes from May 5th to September 5th. (124 days)
That is about 6 minutes a day! How easy is that! Our Hawks are soaring with their reading!
+What happens if we meet our goal? We will have a Reading Pep Rally the
morning of September 19th .
Mr. Damon will perform a science experiment as a Mad Scientist for the whole school!
Prizes will be awarded to the top three classes that read the most this summer! Small prizes for all participants.
A special second school wide assembly will take place in the afternoon on September 19th
No “Summer Slide” will occur and our Hawks will be ready for learning in September.

+Discussion Prompt Guide
1. Create mental images: Good readers create a wide range of visual, auditory, and other sensory images as they read, and they become emotionally involved with what they read.
2. Use background knowledge: Good readers use their relevant prior knowledge before, during, and after reading to enhance their understanding of what they’re reading.
3. Ask questions: Good readers generate questions before, during, and after reading to clarify meaning, make predictions, and focus their attention on what’s important.
4. Make inferences: good readers use their prior knowledge and information from what they read to make predictions, seek answers to questions, draw conclusions, and create interpretations that deepen their understanding of the text.
5. Determine the most important ideas or themes: Good readers identify key ideas or themes as they read, and they can distinguish between important and unimportant information.
6. Synthesize information: good readers track their thinking as it evolves during reading, to get the overall meaning.
7. Use fix up strategies: Good readers are aware of when they understand and when they don’t.
