Dear students,
Summer is here and that means time to unplug, relax and read a book. Reading for fun is one of summer's greatest pleasures and I hope you decide to enjoy it. I suggest a few different ways for you to do that magical thing: build a stack of books to read over the summer and read through them!
- Go to the "Suggested Reading" tab to see the list of books I made for this summer.
- Ask me to create a personalized bag of books for you to borrow over the summer. Or fill your own. We supply the bag.
- Go to the "Sync Audiobooks" tab and download two free audiobooks a week until August 1.
- Go to the "Reading Lists to Browse" tab to see more reading lists.
- Go to the "Summer meet-up" tab to see when and where we are meeting this summer to talk about what we're reading.
- Visit the Weston Public Library or your local library. They have so many great books available for you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hanson
Think about this:
- Research shows that the academic skills of students who don't read over the summer decline. This is called "summer slide."
- Research also shows that the skills of students who do read over the summer improve.
- The academic gap between students who read over the summer and those who don't widens exponentially over the years.
On which side of the gap do you want to be?
