Summer Reading ListsFirst Grade - 2010Please see the First Grade Booklist available at Robbins Library Children's Services, Arlington. There are over one hundred books on this list. However, your child's choices are not limited to this list. The essential ingredient is to find books that spark your child's personal interest. Required Activity: After having read a few books have your
child choose his/her favorite book on which to do the required reading
assignment on a separate piece of paper: Optional Activity: Writing regularly helps children to learn language and to increase fine motor skills. Twice a month have your child write and draw about his/her summer experiences. These could include play dates, camp, road trips and so on. It is ok to have your child sound out words and write the words just as he or she hears them. Another way to include written information is for yo to write exactly what your child says about the experience or about the pictures.
