Happy First Day of Summer Vacation! Start today off with a good habit for the whole summer....READ! Research shows that reading at least 20 minutes a day helps prevent the summer slide. The summer slide is a loss of learning during the summer months when out of school. Use our Summer Reading Challenge to avoid the slide! Go to https://launchpad.classlink.com/d5live to log into Beanstack and track your reading.
Or try one of these great options for reading this summer:
Spartanburg County Public Library's Summer Reading Program - The program starts June 1. Students can read books to get a prize. The public library has a lot of awesome and free activities throughout the summer. Each branch has different events. https://www.spartanburglibraries.org/Events/Summer-reading-2024
Barnes and Noble - Download and print a Reading Journal. Then, read eight books and record the titles in the printed journal. Once you’ve read the 8 books, take your journal to your local Barnes and Noble to get a free book. You can also find a printable parent’s guide with tips and fun literacy activities.
