Reading At Home over the Summer Increases Student Achievement

Wa-Nee builds in time for students to read at school each day, but research shows that this may not be enough, especially over the summer. Students who read at home in addition to reading at school tend to have higher test scores. Here are some ways to incorporate reading at home this summer!

*Read the cereal box each morning
*Find a reading website or app that your child enjoys
*Look up information about a favorite subject on the computer
*Take regular trips to the library and join the summer reading program
*Start a book club with friends
*Model reading by reading in front of and to your children each day
