Summer Reading Tips for Parents

Site Summary:
"Summer shouldn't mean taking a break from learning, especially when it comes to reading. Studies show that most students experience a loss of reading skills over the summer months, but children who continue to read actually gain skills. During the summer parents can help children sustain (and even bolster) reading skills, strengthen their vocabulary and reinforce the benefits of reading for enjoyment."
We chose this site because it encourages parents with learning disabled students to continue reading through the summer months and gives them ideas on how to do so.
