The ABCs of Improved Summer Reading
Access to books. It’s critical that kids have access to a wide variety of books over the summer months, but we know that access alone doesn’t make a strong impact.
Books that match reader’s ability levels and interests. For young people’s reading skills to improve, they need to read books that align with their own reading levels. Reading books that are too easy or too hard won’t help!
Comprehension, as monitored and guided by an adult, teacher or parent. The most important piece to making summer reading effectively is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better understand what they are reading.
