Summer Reading Lists for Kindergarten


We have been busy with Summer Reading. The public library where I work part-time has a very easy summer reading incentive program. The kids receive a prize for every 5 books read by themselves or read to. For kids going into kindergarten this is usually an easy task as most are still beginning readers. My kids have enjoyed many of the books on their summer reading list sent to us by the elementary school librarian.  I do wish the list had more current titles, but there are over 50 books to chose from. Our favorites so far:
1. Jessica by Kevin Henkes -  a great getting ready for kindergarten book with a surprise ending!
2. Milo's Hat Trick by Jon Agee - a magician and a bear filled with imagination and problem solving.
3. Traction Man is Here by Mini Grey - a great comic book adventure
4. Bunny Cakes by Rosemary Wells - Max and Ruby and a Worm Cake.
5. The Three Pigs by Wiesner -  a Caldecott favorite with pigs escaping their own story.
