Why is it good to read over the summer?

Encouraging summer reading is a fantastic way to keep your child's mind active over the summer, promoting a positive summer activity that can be done virtually anywhere at any time. Not only does ithelp children maintain their reading skills, it also helps prevent the dreaded summer slide where a student's reading levels slide from the top at the end of the school year to the bottom at the start of the next school year.  Make it fun, keep a routine and make it a family activity!

Here are some resources for you!
