As we approach the end of school and think about ways to keep children actively engaged in reading and literacy activities during the summer, here are a few websites you may want to look into over the summer. As we encourage children to read, remember to :
Talk and write about what they have read
Read a variety of genres
Read and build stamina
The websites below offer ideas, as well as, parental support. http://www.readingrockets.org/audience/parents - scroll down to the Summer Learning section
