REQUIRED READING THIS SUMMER  

Choose a minimum of TWO👇 

You will be responsible for the reading once school starts, so taking notes or using sticky notes to remember the story is recommended!

Summer reading expectations revolve around maintaining and improving reading skills. A recommendation is to read for at least 20 minutes daily, aiming for 500 minutes over the entire summer. Some studies suggest that reading at least six books can help prevent reading skills from declining.
