Some “Super” Stories for the Summer

June 12, 2008 · 2 Comments




Children in the Infant section, just like older students, need to keep reading and hearing stories over the summer, so I recommend parents have a look at the K2 Super Story selections. For the past six months each K2 class has read and re-read a set of 50 picture books, with the goal of identifying which books are best in some way. Each class generated the rubric by which to judge the stories — and voting took place last week for the books with the “Best Words”, “Best Pictures”, “Best Characters”, etc.

Check out this year’s winners and the range of books read (about 130 books across the four classrooms).

Don’t worry if your child is going into K2 next year — the Super Story collections vary each year, so it doesn’t matter if they read any of the books ahead of time. Besides, they’re all meant to be books well worth reading again and again.

    The super stories have been great this year and the children have loved the wide variety of books that are in the super story boxes. Some great classics and some new books that even the K2 teachers have never read before! Thank you to Ms Day for introducing us to them!

    This is a fantastic resource – thank you for taking the time to post it, and to share the results from the kids. I’ve got quite a few book suggestions for my kids already from it, some of which I have not considered before. I am sure they will also really appreciate it when I pull out a few new stories on their holidays!
