Falcon Favorites

Favorite Read-Aloud and Read-it-Myself Books

From the Elementary Students at

American Overseas School of Rome

2016-2017

Dear Families of AOSR Elementary Students,

Each spring parents and caretakers ask their child’s teachers for a

summer reading list. At AOSR, we know that the students are the best

judges of which books are good for reading enjoyment. The following

book lists were compiled by surveying the students. Each student was

asked to recommend their favorite read-aloud and read-it-myself

books. Use these lists to help choose good books to read during the

summer.

At AOSR we know that reading is an enjoyable experience.

Reading “easy” books in the summer is certainly okay. Easy practice

will help your child retain gains made during the school year and be

ready for more challenging books in the new school year. Students

who do any reading at all during the summer are more prepared for the

next school than those who do not.

Have a fun, safe summer, and keep on reading!

Care famiglie degli studenti elementari di AOSR,

Ogni primavera i genitori chiedono agli insegnanti del loro

bambino una lista di lettura estiva. Ad AOSR, sappiamo che gli

studenti sono i migliori a saper scegliere i libri adatti per il

divertimento della lettura. I seguenti elenchi di libri sono stati

compilati analizzando gli studenti. A ciascun studente è stato chiesto

di consigliare i loro libri preferiti. Utilizza questi elenchi per aiutarti a

scegliere i libri da leggere durante l'estate.

Ad AOSR sappiamo che la lettura è un'esperienza piacevole. La

lettura di libri "facili" d’estate è certamente okay. La semplice pratica

aiuterà il bambino a mantenere ciò che ha costruito durante l'anno

scolastico ed essere pronti per i libri più impegnativi nel nuovo anno

scolastico. Gli studenti che fanno qualsiasi lettura durante tutta l'estate

sono più preparati per l’anno successivo rispetto a coloro che non lo

fanno.

Vi auguro un'estate divertente e vi invito a continuare a leggere.
