Summer Reading |
(see Math below) |
|
Research shows that students who read during the summer gain reading skills, while those who don't tend to slide backwards. Encourage your child to read and participate in some of these learning opportunities and you'll help them be better prepared for next school year.
Students at SHCS are asked to read or listen to 10 books entering K-2nd grade, 5 books entering 3rd-5th grade, and 4+ books entering 6th-8th grades. To earn a special treat, students can print and turn in a summer reading log to homeroom teacher by August 10. Download a log here or keep your own list. Children of all ages benefit from listening to stories. Try listening to an audio book together on a road trip - the public library has lots to checkout or download for free. You can read picture books, graphic novels, short novels, long novels, whatever would be appropriate for your age. There are no rules this summer, just read and have fun! Come back prepared to share your favorite books with your new classmates! |
Optional! Take a quiz to track your reading.

Summer Math
Rising Elementary School Summer Math
Studies have found that students lose one to two months of math skills over the summer. You can prevent that “Summer Slide” by encouraging your child to continue learning. It is easy, and they will enjoy the challenge.
Try to spend time a few times each week practicing math facts and concepts. You can use online games or real world activities to practice math skills. Some sample activities are listed below. You do not need to turn anything in to your teacher in August.
