Summer Reading Program

Reading is essential to learning. It is the pathway to lifelong learning and the key to life’s opportunities. Reading is a strategic problem-solving process of gaining personal meaning from text. Students use a range of skills and strategies in the process of reading to comprehend what they read. Reading is not only a basic skill; it is an indispensable tool for critical and creative thinking. There is a diversity of purposes for which readers read a variety of materials. Reading literacy allows students to make connections between their own and others’ experiences, to inquire systematically, to access, analyze, synthesize, and critically evaluate information.

Help students foster the belief that reading is worthwhile. Join with us in celebrating February as reading month and Dr. Seuss’s Birthday on March 2.
