Now that the school year is upon us, it is important that students continue the practice of reading consistently. To assist students in their reading endeavors, the Lincoln Elementary School Library offers a broad range of reading materials designed to meet students’ interest levels as well as their academic needs.
Students are allowed to check out two books per week using their current Lincoln Elementary School ID cards. Students are encouraged to select books according to their AR reading levels and complete corresponding AR tests. Students are assessed a fine for lost or damaged books. In most cases, fines will cover the replacement cost of any book that has been damaged or unreturned.
Below are some recommendations from the American Library Association on helping teen students develop a greater love of reading. For more tips and recommendations, click here.
- Lead by example: let your teen
see you reading and visiting the
library often - Sharing books shows you care.
Talk about what you read with
your teen. - Keep plenty of books,
graphic novels,
magazines and
newspapers around
your home. - Empower your teens:
let them select books that speak to
their interests and hobbies. - Read stories, poems, graphic
novels, magazines or books out
loud together. - Make sure your teen has regular
transportation to the library. - Provide a quiet space for reading
in your home and set aside time
each day for reading. - Give books or gift certificates to
bookstores as gifts. - Listen to audio books when
traveling. - Don’t forget that reading should be
fun, as well as educational, for all
ages. Let your teen choose some
lighter reading that isn’t required
for school
