Dear Parents,

Summer is almost here! Our students have worked hard to become great readers this year, and we want to maintain those reading skills over the summer! Here are some activities that can help students avoid the summer slide:

  • Lexia – students will have access to Lexia Core 5 all summer through Clever. 
  • HMH Into Reading – students will continue to have access to HMH books and information all summer. Students can access HMH through Clever.

                          Students who bring any of the above reading logs to school

                          by September 1 will receive a special prize!
