Summer is the time in which students are involved in fewer academic activities. Studies showed that students experience learning loss in reading and academics during the summer. Summer reading programs are the option to keep them connected and engaged to the next academic year and foster their reading habit.
Program components:
An inclusive selection of books in which students can follow their interests and levels.
Set goals for when and where reading will take place.
Equal access to books.
One of our priorities is to give equal access to literature to our students. Epic! It's the online platform that gives them access to the suggested reading lists. It let them be part of the summer reading challenge.
Your support is unique to keep our children reading. Find below some interesting articles.
