Enjoy your summer but don't
forget that r eading
regularly is important. Reading at least six books during the
summer months helps students maintain reading progress achieved
during the school year.
Regular practice is a must for those students who are still
working on becoming a proficient reader. For older children,
books serve as powerful tools to open imaginations and expand
horizons.
Below is a suggested reading list for readers of all grade
levels.
