Summer is for reading too!
Students gain a better sense of themselves and their world through reading literature and rich non-fiction. When students consistently practice reading over the summer, they improve their reading fluency, vocabulary, and overall comprehension. Cultivating independent summer reading habits fosters a love for reading and encourages lifelong learning practices. Check out the ALSC 6-8 Summer Reading List and book it to your local library today!
