Summer Reading 2016

Did you know that it is very important to read over the summer? Research shows that kids who read over the summer come back to school the next year and do better than kids who didn't read at all!!!

All of you need to keep reading over the summer. 

Here are some links to summer reading programs:

Education World

International Children's Digital Library

Sherman Public Library

Gunter Library

I hope you make reading part of your summer fun!!
