2016 Summer Reading Information!
- 1. Summer Reading Resolution Pledge! Research shows that kids who do not read over the summer can suffer from "summer slide" or "brain drain." This means that it can take longer to catch up and get back in the swing of things when the new school year starts. Don't let this happen! READ, READ, READ! If you need a little extra push or incentive to get you reading, there are lots of summer reading programs out there for little kids, big kids, and grown-ups! PLEDGE to participate in summer reading! You can do the summer reading program at the Lexington County Public Library; participate in the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge; or come up with your own summer reading challenge (you can even join Mrs. Byrd Fort and challenge yourself to read a #bookaday this summer)! Doesn’t matter how you do it, just as long as you READ! Many of you PLEDGED to read with your family for 101 days/nights for Roary’s Reading Resolution Challenge, continue that challenge by pledging to read over the summer! Don’t know what to read?
