Preventing the Summer Slide

As your thoughts begin to turn to the end of the school year and vacation plans, I want to share some ideas of how to prevent what is known as "the summer slide".  Research shows that children who read over the summer continue to build their reading skills while children who take a break from reading can lose two months of reading performance.  The links below will give you ideas to help your children keep reading and keep building their brain power!
