As the end of the school year approaches, we begin encouraging our children to stay involved in reading over the summer. We are all aware of the “summer slide” that occurs when students do not read on a regular basis and begin to fall behind in reading achievement.  To prevent this, we would like to share with you a national, state-led summer reading initiative that supports students in finding great books to read over the summer.

Georgia is launching the 2013 Summer Reading Challenge to combat this summer loss in student reading ability.   The Lexile “Find a Book” website can help identify books that students are interested in and are able to read.  This tool can be found here at Lexile.com’s Find A Book GA.    Information about the Georgia Department of Education’s Summer Reading Challenge initiative can be found here.
