Grace Brethren Christian School feels very strongly about students reading on a consistent basis. The only way reading skills improve is by doing a lot of reading. Parents can model the importance of reading by reading to their children. During the summer, please read the books listed below to your child. They may be checked out from the public library. For K3, K4 and K5, reading of particular titles is not mandatory. Consistent reading is what is important.
