Belden Bookworms

We are always encouraging our children to read books and their parents to read with them and to them. We will help children track their summer reading on a special chart with a sticker for each book read. Incentives to continue summer reading will be offered, dependent upon the child’s age and reading level.

To verify a book has been read, children will be asked about their favorite part of each book. For our youngest readers, picture books and being read to will count as well. Good listening, learning from examining pictures, and reading comprehension are all parts of literacy.
