If summer vacation hasn't arrived on your doorstep yet, it is on its way. Studies have shown that students can lose up to 2 months worth of what they have learned over the school year during the summer break. Enrolling students in summer activities which reinforce learning is ideal to stop the "brain drain", but not always an option for families. Summer reading brings its own joys as well as benefits.
If your family is spending the summer close to WiFi and electricity, students can access Weekly Reader and Time For Kids online for reading news, stories and poetry.
If summer reading for your family looks more like sitting in a tree or on a hammock with a book, Scholastic and Barnes & Noble run summer reading programs for kids.
Scholastic has apps and tips available for parents on its website. As well as a page for games, printables and the "Biggest game of ISpy Ever"!
At Barnes & Nobel kids can win a free book by reading by following these 3 steps.
Step 1. Read any 8 books and record them in a Reading Journal (PDF).
Step 2. Bring the completed Reading Journal to your local Barnes &Noble store.
Step 3.Choose a FREE BOOK from their selection on the Reading Journal list at the store... Enjoy reading!
