Summer Reading/NYC Reads
Reading is like any skill: it takes practice! Over the summer, we encourage students to spend at least a few minutes reading each day. This daily routine will help your child continue developing their literacy skills and prevent learning loss while they're away from the classroom. This year, we have plenty of resources available to get started on your family's summer reading journey.
