Summer+Read+2017


 * //Summer reading //** is critical in preventing summer reading loss. According to the research, children from high and low-income families make similar gains in reading during the academic year. However, children of poverty fall behind in the summer a little more each year, until the difference is huge.

To address summer reading loss, Houston ISD **//and//** Kolter Elementary encourage students to participate in summer reading programs. The HISD Summer Reading program, **//Every Summer Has a Story //**, challenges students to read a minimum of five books during the summer. Additional information is available on [|Library Services Summer Reading website.] On the site you will find summer reading lists for grades K-5 and 6-12 and other summer reading programs in Houston, such as the [|Houston Public Library Summer Reading Program] , [|Half Price Books Summer Reading] , [|Barnes & Noble Summer Reading] , __myON __ and much more. By promoting summer reading, we can help all children have a safe and productive summer while preventing summer learning loss.

Schools encourage all parents to read with their child(ren) and talk about books. By doing this you are promoting literacy development.
