It's All About Reading! Keep those brains reading and learning this summer.

Don't let those reading levels fall over the summer!  Keep reading for a minimum of 15 mins per day and you will stay at the same level and probably improve. 




READING TIP:
READING is the most important subject in school. Why?
Because a child needs reading in order to master most of the other
subjects. It’s extremely difficult to do word problems in math if you can’t read the words. How can you answer the questions in social studies or science if you can’t read and understand the textbook? If it’s so important,
how does a child “get good at it”? READ!

Tip by Jim Trelease author of The Read Aloud Handbook, New York Times best seller.


Ms. Murrells-Allaway recommends reading a minimum of 15 minutes EVERY DAY!  And of course try to read longer.
