Sunrise Valley Summer Reading

Sunrise Valley Summer Reading

It’s June, so you know what’s right around the corner… MORE TIME TO READ!  Here are a few resources to help you kick off the summer reading at your house.

Fairfax County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program begins June 11, 2021.  Students can earn virtual badges and chances to win prizes while they enjoy great books.  Parents can either create a virtual reading account or swing by a library branch to pick up a paper reading log.  Here is the information you’ll need to get started: https://research.fairfaxcounty.gov/reading-challenges/YouthSummerReading

Free eBooks through Overdrive and Libby: Taking a road trip?  Don’t forget to pack your free digital books.  Through the Fairfax County Public Library, you can download popular audiobooks and eBooks.  Audiobooks can be enjoyed on iPods, mp3 players, and personal computers.  EBooks can be downloaded and read on your digital book reader (Sony, Nook, Kindle, etc.), your smartphone, iPod touch, or PC.  All downloads are free and typically the digital book will reside on your device for 21 days.  You can download the OverDrive or Libby apps here and get the startup directions: https://research.fairfaxcounty.gov/ebooks/libby . If you need help getting up and running, you can make an appointment with an FCPL librarian who will walk you through the steps.

Can’t make it to the library?  MyOn is a digital book database provided to students by FCPS.  Students can access thousands of popular and interesting, fully-illustrated non-fiction and fiction books for a variety of reading and interest levels.  MyOn has a “reader” feature that will read the books aloud.  You can access MyOn from any computer at www.MyOn.com.  To log in:

  • School Name: Sunrise Valley ES (Slowly type "sun" and a drop -down list will let you choose our school.)
  • User name for all students K-6: student id # 
  • Password is the unique network password the student used during the school year

Rising Middle Schoolers have a summer reading assignment!  All 6th graders learned about the summer reading expectations for our four main middle schools.  They can review the details here using their FCPS Google logins: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1z0KxfaGyjC4is3JDHsl_tI28yhJOEvyW9pOjt4g-W5g/edit?usp=sharing
