Student Book Checkout
Your child will visit the library and check out 1 library book every week. The book must be returned on or before your child’s next library visit so your child can check out a new book. All of our students are given a special library book bag to transport their library book to and from home.
In Pre-K, children learn to be responsible for their belongings, including library books. Please help by having a special place at home for your child's library book and bag, and talk about taking care of books. If a book is lost or damaged, it must be paid for before borrowing another. Most importantly, read and enjoy the book with your child to build good reading habits and a love of reading.

Shared Reading Tips
- Read together every day. Read to your child every day. Make this a warm and loving time when the two of you can cuddle close.
- Give everything a name. Build your child’s vocabulary by talking about interesting words and objects. For example, “Look at that airplane! Those are the wings of the plane. Why do you think they are called wings?”
- Say how much you enjoy reading. Tell your child how much you enjoy reading with him or her. Talk about “story time” as the favorite part of your day.
- Read with fun in your voice. Read to your child with humor and expression. Use different voices.Have fun!
- Know when to stop. Put the book away for awhile if your child loses interest or is having trouble paying attention.
- Be interactive. Discuss what’s happening in the book, point out things on the page, and ask questions.
- Read it again and again. Go ahead and read your child’s favorite book for the 100th time!
- Talk about writing, too. Mention to your child how we read from left to right and how words are separated by spaces.
- Point out print everywhere. Talk about the written words you see in the world around you. Ask your child to find a new word on each outing.
