Reading informs us.
Reading educates us.
Reading grows us into stronger, wiser people.
Reading brings about change.
Most importantly, reading entertains us.
Team Summit Reading is all about reaching new heights in our understanding of text. Our reading shapes our intellectual development and prepares us for our interactions with the world. We are only limited by how much time we devote to the focused practice of reading.
In Team Summit, we work toward having a deeper understanding of the reading standards along with developing a lifelong appreciation for reading daily. Novels may not be for everyone, but that is not the only reading that plays a part in our adult life. We are developing the habits to become active readers and critical thinkers. Join us in our pursuit of reading excellence!
