Now that the first week of school is over and students are adjusting to the routine I would like to encourage you to to establish a regular reading time each night with your child. Many of the classroom teachers will require reading logs, and reading for homework. Since a number of the students who come to the resource room can not read books at their grade level, I highly recommend books on tape. By listening to books on tape, your child can experience the same rich literature as their classmates, and you may be surprised how much you enjoy listening with your child. The Kennebunk Free Library has an extensive stack of books on tape. I'd love to hear what you've listened to, and what your favorites are.
