Dear Families,

Did you know many students lose a month or more of reading proficiency over the summer? Thankfully, keeping kids engaged with books and articles can stop the summer slide and keep them growing. Using Accelerated Reader at home is a great way to keep students reading and motivated. 

Students can read books and take Accelerated Reader Quizzes at home. Accelerated Reader also has nonfiction high-interest articles for students to read, and quizzes they can take after reading articles. Teachers will provide login instructions if students don’t already have them. 

As students read and take quizzes, they can track their progress toward their individualized Accelerated Reader goals. These goals are at their just right level of challenge and will help motivate them. Achieving their goals will help ensure students are experiencing reading growth. 

Please take a few minutes to review the Summer Family Tip Sheet for ideas that will help keep your students reading and growing using Accelerated Reader this summer.

Here are a few more resources to help you support your student this summer!
