Why should your child read in the summer?
Reading can be one of the many fun activities children fill their summer time with. Research has shown it to be so much more! Children who participate in summer reading programs not only avoid the “summer slide” in learning, but also score higher on reading achievement tests than those who do not participate. Students who find a love for reading early in age succeed in reading later in life. Research shows that if your child reads at least 5 books they will most likely avoid the summer slide.
Below you will find many ways to encourage your child to read.
