CCPL’s hosting several literacy-based activities all summer to help you earn points toward prizes. CCSD has recently added 528 new books in Myon and Mackinvia – the digital apps in Clever that contain your CCSD library books for reading beyond our requirements. Please let Ms. Allegood know if you need help or your students need help accessing these books for the summer. We can schedule a short mini-lesson during enrichment or Character Ed.– sixth period. You can also find suggested summer reading lists from Library Media Services at CCSD on the media page on our school website for guidance on what to read, if you need it, after you complete your assigned reading.

The missions, as you can see on the ccpl The missions, as you can see on the ccpl.org website, will be included as part of their ELA grade for next year. Please also see your one page handout, provided. Students will be required to hand in a hard copy of their missions to their ELA teacher in the fall. When you register and log your reading on the ccpl.org website, you are entered into drawings for prizes, can participate in activities, and the data comes to our school in the fall. As you know, studies show that students who read over the summer do not suffer from a drop in academic gains the way students who don’t read do. It’s fun! It’s relaxing! Relax and Read! Let Mrs. Bailey and/or Ms. Allegood and/or your public librarian at the Charleston County Public Library answer your questions or help in any way you need it!
