The Read Aloud Classroom
21. Reading Over the Summer?
Are you worried about your students losing their reading momentum during those long summer months? In this episode, I'll show you how to transform summer reading from a dreaded academic chore into an exciting adventure that keeps the read-aloud magic alive when school's out! I share practical strategies for setting students up for reading success before they leave your classroom, plus creative ideas families will actually use (reading picnics, anyone?).
I dive into ways you can maintain connections with students about books over summer, celebrate their reading accomplishments when school resumes, and even nurture your own reading life. Plus, I introduce my comprehensive Summer Reading Challenge resource that makes implementation easy. You'll walk away with actionable ideas to help your students maintain not just their reading skills, but more importantly, their love of stories all summer long!
