Summer Reading

Avoid the summer slide Research shows that students who read and discuss at least 5 books over the summer can help maintain their reading skills. Kids who participate in a summer reading program could even show growth over the summer. Otherwise students skills will slide away. Citation: http://www.cla-net.org/?78
