Welcome!

Summer is a great time for students to develop their literacy skills! Studies have shown that, when students choose what to read over the summer, they can improve as readers.

This plan is designed to give students engaging, fun choices of ways to build their literacy skills over the summer. Some goals, like reading chapter books, are probably familiar. Others, like reading pamphlets and maps, are designed to make the most of ordinary summer activities. There is learning everywhere—and it can be relevant, fun, and engaging for students and their families.

As you and your child complete the Summer Literacy Plan, discuss what else will be happening over the summer. Perhaps you can join a summer reading program at a nearby library. Maybe you have plans to visit family or travel. These experiences can become part of the literacy activities. After all, learning is all around us!
