Summer Reading |
(Math below) |
There are many opportunities to keep your child reading this summer. 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.
Children of all ages benefit from being read to. Try listening to an audiobook 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!
Rising K families should simply read with your child to grow their love of reading.
Rising 1st-3rd are asked to read at least 10 books;
Rising 4th-5th read 4 or more, and
Rising Middle School read 3 or more.
Come back prepared to share your favorite books with your new classmates! If you keep a list and turn it in, you will be rewarded by the librarians!

Summer Math
use your login from the school year.
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. The most important aspect of the program is consistency. Working in small increments of time will produce much better results than trying to do a lot in one sitting.
