Suggested Summer Book List - With Matching Lexile Levels Students First Educational Consulting, Inc. Andria Bunner

1

The books provided are simply

suggestions. Please talk with the local

librarian for assistance with selecting

other books in your child’s Lexile range.

The Lexile range for your child represents

the range where your child is reading.

Books at the lower end of their range

should be able to be read independently.

Books at the higher end of their range

may require some adult support.

OTHER TIPS TO PROMOTE READING:

Make sure students read daily.

Turn off the volume on the television and

encourage the reading of closed

captioning.

Remember your child also needs to hear

you read aloud.

Make reading a family event. Schedule a

certain time each day for reading to take

place.

Encourage your child to write about what

they have read, and share with an adult.

When encountering an unknown word

use the dictionary to determine the

meaning of the word.

Find topics your child is interested in

reading about.

Remember reading is a wonderful way to

discover new information. Encourage

your child to read both literary and

informational books.

Lexile Levels for books were obtained from www.lexile.com

Reading tips to promote reading were located using many research

books about teaching reading and my personal teaching experiences.
