Purpose for Summer Reading 

 Reading during the summer is important for everyone!  It helps readers keep and improve the reading skills they developed during the school year.  Stephen Krashen, author of  "The Power of Reading", concludes that “reading is the most powerful tool available for building vocabulary as well as the ability to read, write, spell, and comprehend.”     Independent reading has been proven to positively impact literacy development.
