Summer Reading/Beyond the Classroom

Keep your summer learning going with these websites! All students will have access to MyON, Reading with the Rays, Scholastic Challenge and more. Studies show students who read over the summer show gains in reading comprehension and retention at the beginning of the next school year. Keep that summer slide at bay with these activities:

1. Encourage your children to read books they enjoy for at least 30 minutes per day. Your child will likely be more engrossed in material they choose themselves than material that is forced on them.
2. Provide incentives for reluctant readers. For example, if your child enjoys basketball, agree to take them to the local court if they do their “daily reading.”
3. Make reading a social act. Establish a time during the day when all members of the family gather and read on their own, or take turns reading the same book aloud.
4. Connect your reading to family outings. If you take your kids to an aquarium, consider reading a book about fish or the ocean with them later that day. The outing can help place the reading into a broader context.
