Summer Reading & Literacy
with the Autrey Mill Library Learning Commons
Join our Summer Reading Challenge!
We are challenging all students and staff to read 1,000 minutes this summer! That's only 20 minutes per weekday!
Summer reading is critical for you to retain knowledge and skills learned throughout the previous school year. Not reading over the summer puts you at risk for falling behind your classmates. While this is not required, these resources for summer learning promotes and supports reading for pleasure and provides a springboard for reflection in the fall.
