Summer Reading

Summer Reading

Throughout the school year, your child's teacher has work extremely hard to improve reading readiness, fluency, and comprehension.  Over the summer, students that do not read will lose 10-20 words toward fluency from the ending of the school year.  Please make sure your child is reading at least 15-30 minutes a day for younger children and 30-60 minutes for older children.  Make sure they are reading on their independent reading level.  Another good summer reading idea is to get books that are 1 to 3 grade levels above your child's reading level and read it aloud every evening.  You should see a remarkable difference in all academic areas if these reading ideas are implemented over the summer.  Research show that children who read at home perform in the top 10% of their class and standardize testing.  So, make sure your child is reading this summer to meet academic success to be college and career ready for the future.
