Dear Parents,

I can not begin to tell you how happy it makes me when I see my students reading and enjoying a good book.  It is amazing how reading can take you on an adventure beyond your wildest dreams.  The following titles are appropriate books for students of all ages.  Silent reading is crucial to the success of your child.  Please be sure your child finds an appropriate book so he/she can read or be read to daily.  Perhaps you like to read as much as I do.  Take an adventure and read a book together.  Thank you supporting your child's education.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Loorya

P.S. I will continue to add great books to this list throughout the school year.  If you have a favorite book you would like me to add to the list, let me know. :) Rememeber the more you read the happier I am!
