Entering 2nd Grade:
Suggested Summer Reading and Math Activities
The goal of
summer reading is to encourage the enjoyment of reading and acquaint students
with specific authors, as well as to encourage the
reading habit by suggesting a wide range of authors of fiction, nonfiction and series books. Summer reading is a time when
children can focus on the fun of reading by reading what
interests them. The habit of "reading for fun" has been identified as
a crucial factor in predicting academic success, building vocabulary, and
increasing comprehension (essential literacy skills). Summer vacation
is the perfect time to encourage this practice. Visit your nearest Public Library and let the celebration of summer reading begin!
