June is here and you can feel the heat of summer in the hallways. Days are longer, attention spans are growing shorter, and everyone is ready for summer break. Just because the school year is ending doesn’t mean the learning has to stop. Students who do not continue reading over the summer are likely to lose ground. Encourage your child to keep reading!
This blog as well as the WOS Summer Reading 2016 Website is filled with recommendations, activities, tips, and resources to help motivate your child all summer long!
Please Note: Your child will NOT be receiving a Summer Reading log from William O. Schaefer (WOS). The children can visit any of the Mighty 5 Libraries in our district to register for summer reading and pick up a reading log. Please have your child bring their Summer Reading log to school with them in September.
