Three cheers for summer!
What a terrific time of year to do
all sorts of fun things, including
reading lots and lots of books.
This summer, the Levine-Sklut
Judaic Library is holding a sum
mer reading challenge to see how
many books you can read. The
theme this summer is ice cream.
Come get an “ice-cream game
board” and move a space every
time you complete a book. There
will be prizes and ice cream to be
won for those (2-12 years old)
that read five or more books.
Parents did you know that sum
mer reading can advance the
advance literacy and literature and
knowledge? The benefits are sub
stantial including:
* School-aged children who
read four or more books over the
summer can avoid the backwards
“summer slide” which typically
occurs.
* Children who read books over
the summer may learn 1,000-
3,000 words.
* And, reading promotes love
of books and love of learning.
