🔸 SUMMER READING is critical for our children to keep on practicing their fluency and accuracy. Please have children read one book a day for the younger children (or read one book a day to them!). Older children can read for at least 15 minutes a day. Join in by reading alongside them or asking them questions about what they read for comprehension practice. Please consider doing the summer reading challenge through the SSF Public Library!

🐾 Thank you families on behalf of the Spruce Team! 🐾
