Help your child avoid the Summer Slide by having him/her read daily. We've discovered the key to climbing versus sliding was that the climbing students made reading a regular part of their summer schedule (20-30 minutes daily). Please keep your child reading regularly throughout the summer! For some great summer reading ideas, programs, incentives, etc., please visit the links below. Also, we'd encourage you to look at your child's DIBELS printout and see which areas are below benchmark. Visit our DIBELS page for an explanation of those skills your child needs more help with and you'll be able to see links to target those skills.
