Summer Reading

Reading is something that is so important over the summer.  I have compiled some ideas to help your child have fun reading this summer!

• Sign up for the summer reading program at our public library.  They offer great incentives for readers. 
• Use EPIC! The library through EPIC is really fabulous. Your child can even build their fluency by reading along to the “Read-to-Me” books
• Sign up for Scholastic Home Base Summer Read-A-Palooza (https://www.scholastic.com/site/summer/home.html)
• Students should now be able to access their IStation accounts all summer long.  
• Complete the summer Reading Challenge pages attached.  
• Read a book the do a fun STEM activity that goes along with it.  You can find lots of ideas on Pinterest. 
• Youtube has lots of read aloud videos.  Check out the ones I have posted on the blog.  Many of the ones I have posted have a channel and will have other read aloud stories

I hope you have fun reading this summer!
