Summer Reading is very Important
Your child has worked very hard this year! According
to research, students who do not read over the summer can lose as much as 22% of their reading level. That means 2 months of school, down the drain! You can help prevent this summer reading loss by encouraging your child to read over the summer. try to read something everyday, whether it’s a book, recipe, or a menu. Every word counts. Here’s to making this a summer of reading!
