Summer is the perfect time for a new adventure, and books can take you anywhere! Reading during the summer helps students maintain the skills they built throughout the school year and prepares them for success in the fall.
Benefits of Summer Reading:
Prevents learning loss in academic skills
Improves vocabulary, fluency and comprehension
Encourages imagination and creativity
Fosters a lifelong love of reading
Reduces stress and promotes empathy
Just 15–20 minutes of reading each day can make a big difference! Let your child choose books that interest them, and make reading a fun part of your family’s routine.
