It's Summer....Let's READ!!!!
Harrisburg Title 1 Literacy Night - Spring 2016
Why kids should read over the summer!
- Reading is good for their brain!
- The more they practice reading, the better their reading skills will be!
- If they read 4-5 books over the summer, they'll do better in school in the fall!
- Books will take them places when they are stuck at home!
