You may already know that students can lose 2 to 2.5 months of instruction over the summer. However, did you also know that if they read 4-6 books, they will gain 1 month of instruction? Let’s start the year with some momentum! The goal is 15 hours of reading. Log the minutes that you read for June & July!
Students AND staff are welcome to participate in our summer reading program. This is for all Rock Hill middle and high schools (rising 6th-12th graders), in conjunction with the York County Library. Rewards will be given out the beginning of next year for students who read from 5-15 hours. There are no required reading lists. You choose! Read for just 15 minutes a day for 60 days to reach the goal of 15 hours total! Summer reading bookmarks should be submitted to media specialists by August 21st. YCL's equivalent program will also be accepted, which means you can use their bookmark or log your reading online with Beanstack. Get prizes from the public library and Rock Hill schools for doing the same reading! It's a win, win! You can participate more than once.
Know the facts & make wise choices! All reading is good reading! Read books from home / friends, the public library, or visit resources on the home page to access eBooks & audiobooks, such as Sora & Teen Book Cloud.
