Scholastic Reading Program (Jan. 2015)
Dear Parent,
The best gift any parent can give a child is the love of good books and the joy and benefits of good reading. Children who read at home, or are read to, have a head start on reading success in school.
Our school is participating in Scholastic Reading Club this year. Every season during the school year we will send you a book flyer with a different selection of books offered. You’ll find award-winning books, as well as old and new favorites. We recommend them because the books span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests and because they are of good quality.
It is easy to order. This month’s flyer is attached. Just look over the flyer with your child, select the books you want, mark them on the order form on the back of the flyer, and ask your children to return the order form to us with payment in cash to Scholastic Reading Clubs by January 20, 2015. Scholastic will send a representative to collect your order and cash. The books will arrive in about three weeks after we send the class order to Scholastic. It will be right before the Chinese New Year break.
Owning your own books is something special! I hope that you will encourage your children to order books from Scholastic reading club this year. There is never any obligation to order. I know of no better way to encourage reading than to allow children to choose the books they want to read. Thank you for your support in advance.
Please e-mail Ms. Myburgh (susanna.myburgh@has.hc.edu.tw) if you have any questions about the program.
Sincerely,
Ms. Myburgh and the SCHOLASTIC READING CLUB
親愛的家長您好:
家長可以給孩子最好的禮物為優良書籍所帶來的快樂和閱讀所帶來的喜悅和益處。不論是孩子在家裡獨自閱讀,或是家人唸書給孩子聽,都成為一個良善的開端,能幫助他們增進閱讀能力,提升學習效果。
這學期開始,新竹美國學校將參加Scholastic Reading Club,在每一個學期,教師會給您與孩子一份書單,上面有種類豐富多樣的書籍可供選擇,您會發現許多經典作品、全新上市的書籍和獲得書籍獎項的作品等,我們相信這些優良書籍可以提升學生的閱讀水準,並引發他們對閱讀的興趣。
訂購方式十分簡單。您和孩子只要瀏覽書單,選擇想要購買的書籍,並在書單背面的訂單上填寫資料,再請孩子攜帶訂單與現金於1月20日到學校,Scholastic Reading Club將會派出代表至學校收取您的訂單和現金,而所訂購的書籍將在大約三週後抵達學校,所以學生們大概可以在農曆年前拿到書籍。
鼓勵孩子們閱讀最好的方式就是讓他們選擇自己喜歡的書籍來做閱讀,這個活動並不是強制性的,您並沒有任何訂購義務,但讓孩子們擁有喜愛書籍的感覺相當無法言喻!希望您能鼓勵孩子參加Scholastic Reading Club。感謝您的支持!
如果有任何問題,請隨時透過電子郵件與Ms. Myburgh (susanna.myburgh@has.hc.edu.tw) 聯絡。
預祝佳節愉快
Ms. Myburgh & SCHOLASTIC READING CLUB
