一緒に読んで夏休みの遅れを回避しましょう

What is Summer Slide? “Summer slide” is the tendency for students to lose some of the achievement gains they made during the previous school year. Research shows that students that do not read over the summer fall behind an average of 2 months in reading during the summer. And, summer slide is cumulative, with these learning losses building up each summer. Reading just 4 to 6 books over the summer has the potential to prevent a decline in reading achievement scores from the spring to the fall, so even small steps are very beneficial.

When children select reading materials themselves and read for enjoyment, they receive the most gains in reading achievement, including better reading comprehension, fluency, writing style, vocabulary, spelling, and grammatical development. Also, the longer that this free voluntary reading is practiced, the more consistent and positive the results. 

 So that is my intention for this class, to give students the opportunity to read for enjoyment while being monitored and guided for fluency and comprehension with me. If needed, I can even do a little point in time interventions. I have a wide variety of books and access to many more. I will list below books  and the interest levels that I have immediate access to.  If you want me to read with your child, but there is a book they want to read that isn't on my list, I will do my best to get it if I'm given enough time.  If you need to know a book's reading level, please message me for more information. I can easily look it up for you.

Most of these books will take longer that 3 class sessions.  If you want to schedule more session to read, I can send a private link to extend our time.
