SUMMER
READING LIST
Why is it important to read over the summer?
Summer reading is critical for students to retain knowledge and skills learned in the previous school year. It also
contributes to their growth in knowledge and critical thinking skills for the coming year. Reading over summer
vacation may not be a priority for children, but parents should make it one. A University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, research study showed that children who don’t read over the summer lose at least two month of
reading development. This is often referred to as ‘the summer slide’. On the other hand, students who do read
over the summer may gain a month of proficiency in reading. Reading over the summer is not a suggestion to
keep kids busy; it’s a critical requirement to help students stay on track for their entire educational career and
beyond. (Amanda Johnson, Study.com, 2017)
So how can you help your student? One way is to get them involved in a reading program. It can be one of
several listed below or you can create your own incentives. Make reading part of their everyday activity; it is
just as important as physical activity — they are exercising their brains! And don’t forget the value of an
audiobook. Your public library has shelves of audiobooks on CD or you may use apps such as OVERDRIVE or
AUDIBLE on your ipad or phone. (These are a great alternative to watching a movie in your car!)
You might even enjoy this as much as your children.
One last thought: If the book is good and your student likes it, check out other titles by that author.
Mrs. Gruneisen
Librarian
P.S. Please make an effort to read with your student. By that I mean read to them as much as you can, and for
older students, read the same book they are reading. Discussing what you are reading with your student is a
great way of connecting with them as well as grasping their comprehension levels. It will also inform you as to
what they are learning about the culture and the world they are growing up in. Your home - your dinner table
conversation – your car rides, are perfect opportunities to engage your children and help them navigate their
world. This takes time, effort and intentionality. The payoff is priceless!Table of Contents
