What Are You Reading?
This summer, I am actually reading three book simultaneously. Weird, but true! The first book is about reward systems, the second is about school leadership and the final book is a fracured fairytale. All three of the books are interesting reads. I read because I enjoy escaping into a good story and I love to learn new things. July is the time when I can enjoy such pleasures. It is my hope for all of the students at Saint Joan of Arc to love reading also.
SUMMER READING
Summer is a crucial time and students can lose up to three months of reading gains during the summer. Please help and encourage your child to read this summer. Some tips to help your child with their summer reading:
1. Make sure they have access to books. It is critical that kids have access to a wide variety of books over the summer months.
2. Books that match readers’ ability levels and interests. For young people’s reading skills to improve, they need to read books that align with their own reading levels and interests.
3. The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better understand what they are reading.
With these three ingredients, your summer reading program will soar!
