[CASL-L] Summer reading

[Elaine Lettiere]

I am curious about this as well. I have been doing summer reading for many
years but our participation has been plummeting over the past couple of
years. This year I was down to a 17% participation rate at the middle
school.  Ten years ago, I was averaging 55-60% participation.  I definitely
need to reinvent it!
