Dear Parents:


As the 2010-2011 school year comes to a close, I would like to assure you that the
teachers and staff of Roosevelt Elementary will continue educating your child to the vary
end. The teachers and staff need your continued support by making sure your child
comes to school with the necessary supplies that are needed for learning.


Over the summer break, please make sure your child reads EVERYDAY. Below are 8
ways to raise a better reader:


1. Have your child read to you everyday. Encourage your child to read at least 20
minutes a day.
2. Be patient - let your child read aloud at his or her own pace. Offer help only when
needed.
3. Read to your child. Make stories come alive for your child when you read. Be
animated and use different voices.
4. Read together as a family. Discuss what you read together. Ask questions, and
listen attentively to your child’s answers.
5. Make reading time special.
6. Take along your child’s favorite books wherever you go. Read on the bus, in the
car, in line at the store or in waiting rooms.
7. Take your child to the library often and check out a variety of age-appropriate
reading material.
8. Be a role-model, read on your own. By seeing how much you enjoy reading, your
child will learn that it’s a great source of information and fun.


REMEMBER, by encouraging your child to read, you are helping to ensure school
success. See you next school year-Be Safe, Be Respectful. Be Ready, Be Here!
