Have a safe and happy summer!

The Evelyn Smith Wray Village School
Rising Kindergarten Summer Reading List 2010
Rising kindergarten students are not expected to read independently. As you read to your child this summer, please use the following list as a guide only and feel free to expand your selections based on the interests of your child. Please keep a log, or list, of the books read this summer. At the beginning of the school year, we will recognize students who bring in their reading log with a minimum of ten books listed.
