Read to Grow
|
Brent’s 2015 Recommended Summer Reading List is now available! This is a useful resource to reference when you are looking for excellent books over the summer. In it, you will find grade-level lists, poetry collections, author recommendations, and even recommendations for grown-ups! These are books we love, but of course, the most important thing is to spend time reading. We know that summer reading is critical to maintain reading levels; kids that don’t read consistently over summer lose about one month’s worth of learning before school starts back up. Not only does this waste learning time in the fall, it creates significant gaps between the kids that have read over summer and the kids that haven’t, since kids that read at their just-right level all summer long often come back to school ready to move up levels!

SUMMER READING 2013
Brent’s Recommended Summer Reading List is now available! Access it here all summer long: Recommended Summer Reading 2013. These are books we love, but of course the most important thing is to spend time reading.
We know that summer reading is critical to maintain reading levels; kids that don’t read consistently over summer lose about one month’s worth of learning before school starts back up. Not only does this waste learning time in the fall, it creates significant gaps between the kids that have read over summer and the kids that haven’t, since kids that read at their just-right level all summer long often come back to school ready to move up levels!
Each time your child finishes a book, he or she can enter the title and a little information about the book there. That way, we can track the reading that is taking place over the summer! It’s quick and easy. The survey is live; you can start tonight! If you prefer paper copies, they are in the front office; just ask.
We’re looking forward to hearing about all the great reading that your family does between now and next fall!
In case you’re curious about our favorites from last year, check out the 2012 list: Popular Series and Titles from Brent Summer Reading 2012.
