Summer Reading!

Whether your child is five or fifteen, summer is a great time to nurture reading for enjoyment. With a more flexible and relaxed schedule free of homework and tests, young people can read what they want, try new genres of fiction and non-fiction, explore new interests and visit unknown places. In addition, regular reading for pleasure is one way to prevent the &ldquo;summer slide,&rdquo; which is the summer learning loss of academic achievement that often happens when kids are off from school.
