Summer Reading with
Reading Rockets.org
The research is clear that children who don't read
during the summer can lose up to three months
of reading progress and that loss has a
cumulative, long-term effect. Visit www.readingrockets.org/calendar/summer
to find information about summer reading and
summer learning loss.
For most parents, it's a challenge to keep kids
reading and writing all summer. Suddenly 10
weeks of summer can feel like a very long time!
We've got a summer literacy challenge for you
and your child. It's modest enough to be
manageable — pick just one thing a week to
kick start your week's literacy adventures.
Visit www.readingrockets.org/atrticle/summerliteracy-challenge for detailed info.
Investigate your public library's summer
reading program.
Extend your reading circle.
Listen up!
Make your own audio book!
Go wordless.
Visit a museum, online!
Pack in a whole adventure!
Point, shoot, and write.
Mix up the media.
