Students who read books over the summer improve reading skills and critical thinking skills. Most importantly, students report feeling healthier and happier! Here are some opportunities for families to include more reading and learning in their summer activities.
#LVReads Book Lists: These lists are organized by reading level (Beginning, Transitional, Developing, Independent, Fluent and Young Adults) and cover all grade levels. Each of these books have been carefully selected by LVUSD teachers and librarians based on reviews by credible organizations and popularity. You can find these books at our local libraries.
Many of the digital learning tools that students have been using will remain active all summer long. We have also created lists of FREE digital resources available for summer enrichment.
