The Florida Department of Education has shared a website which makes it possible for parents to download a zipfile with 7 different book titles for students going into grades 3, 4, and 5. Research shows that students who don't read during the summer show a decline in their reading skills when they start the new school year. Even 4 or 5 books read during the summer can prevent your child from "the reading slump." Click this link to access the SummerReads Text Project where you can download different zip files and let your child read from your home computer!
