Resources To Help You READ All Summer
Scholastic Read for the World Record
One of the best ways to become a better reader is to READ..and then READ some more! Start the summer off with a routine of reading for 20 minutes after breakfast or end each day with a book before bed. Be sure to sign your child up for the Read for the World Record so they can record all those minutes they read each day!
