All About Summer Reading
Mark Twain Elementary Library
Mark Twain Summer Reading/Mark Twain Leyendo en el verano
What: We are encouraging all Mark Twain students to Just Read Today! If you read 10 books and complete 10 reading responses over the summer, you will be invited to a reading celebration in September 2019.
Why: Did you know that the average student loses 2 months of academic progress over the summer? Reading over the summer is crucial to student success and learning. Students who Just Read Today can significantly reduce the decline in reading abilities that tend to slip during summer break.
How: Read and fill out 10 reading response tickets between June 1 and August 31. Turn in all 10 tickets by September 5.
Come join us over the summer (June-July) to check out books and get more tickets. Visit the book bus. Travel to your local public library. Just Read Today!
MT summer reading program is only available to students in Kindergarten - 4th grade.

Qué: ¡Animamos a todos los estudiantes de Mark Twain a que lean solo hoy! Si lees 10 libros y completas 10 respuestas de lectura durante el verano, se te invitará a una celebración de lectura en septiembre de 2019.
Por qué: ¿Sabías que el estudiante promedio pierde 2 meses de progreso académico durante el verano? Leer durante el verano es crucial para el éxito y el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Los estudiantes que acaban de leer hoy pueden reducir significativamente la disminución en las habilidades de lectura que tienden a deslizarse durante las vacaciones de verano.
Cómo: Lea y complete 10 boletos de respuesta de lectura entre el primero de junio asta el 31 de agosto. Entregue los 10 boletos para el 5 de septiembre.
Únase a nosotros durante el verano (junio-julio) para sacar libros y obtener más boletos. Visita el bus de libros. Viaja a tu biblioteca pública local. Sólo lee hoy!
