Summer Program

Be sure that your learner is completing the summer reading for the grade they're going into for August 2024, not the grade they currently finished.

It is true that readers are leaders. There is an extensive body of research that tells us that academic achievement is related to how much time children spend reading outside of school. Educators are concerned about summer reading loss or “summer slide” that takes place when children don’t read over the summer. It may take a month or two for students who did not read over the summer months to get back to the level at which they were reading at the end of the previous year. While missing out on reading for one or two months may not seem like much, when it happens year after year, the effect can be very detrimental. To keep our learners engaged in reading and responding to texts, the summer reading is an online reading assignment that is located on the district website.

More importantly, learners who read during the summer break are more likely to develop a love for reading which may in turn become a lifelong habit thus increasing their knowledge of all things.
