A.W. Becker Elementary School

Fifth grade graduate Ashley Wilber accepts her completion certificate from Principal Claudia Verga during the June 25 moving-up ceremony.

Enjoy your summer but don't forget that reading regularly is important. Reading at least six books during the summer months helps students maintain reading progress achieved during the school year.

Regular practice is a must for those students who are still working on becoming a proficient reader. For older children, books serve as powerful tools to open imaginations and expand horizons.

Below is a suggested reading list for readers of all grade levels.

Kindergarten  through 2nd grade

  • Stand Tall, by Molly Lou Melon

  • Fables, by Aesop

  • Freight Train, by Donald Crews

  • The Three Little Pigs, by Paul Galdone

Grades 3 through 5

  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by Frank Baum

  • Rip Van Winkle, by Washington Irving

  • The Jungle Books, by Rudyard Kipling

  • The Black Stallion, by Walter Farley
