[CASL-L] Summer Reading/ Summer Learning

[Wicks, Katrina]

Juliet,
Windsor partners with the public library to encourage participation in
their summer programs and has gone to a "one book, one grade" (plus
other-books-of-your-choice model). Each school (with consultation with LMS)
chooses the books for the grades in their schools with the idea that the
themes will be part of the school culture in the next school year.  We try
to minimize the accountability piece because the accountability pieces tend
to become more about writing rather than encouraging a love of reading.
Here is a link to all of Windsor's Summer Reading publications for summer
2018. Also, during the summer, the district promotes reading by giving away
books at town pools and at community concerts. We have two reading
intervention teachers who drive our "book bike" and "book van." We order
tons of discounted books prior to the end of the school year, we organize
them, and we give them away to kids during the summer.
