Summer Reading Programs Keep Kids Reading
Children lose an average of two months of instruction during
summer vacation, or roughly 22 percent of what they learned during the school
year. One way to help prevent this is to keep children reading, and a great way
to keep them motivated to read is to join your library's summer reading program.
This year's reading program for pre-readers and elementary school children is called Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales. The theme for teens is Creature Features. Fun family programs and incentive prizes further encourage the reading habit.
Reading five books over the summer results in a gain of about three points on standardized reading tests and students participating in a summer reading program are more likely to read at their grade level or above than their nonparticipating peers. The bottom line is that those who read more, read better. Call your local library for information or go to www.plsinfo.org for local library summer reading events.
The library's summer reading programs are free and fun, but the best part is that children will be reading and carrying literacy skills with them for life.
