2014 Summer Reading Challenge
|
|
Earlier this month, Governor Malloy launched the 2014 Summer Reading Challenge for Connecticut students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Reading is a fundamental skill that is critical to early brain development, and allows students to practice and hone their language skills, thinking strategies, and information processing. This reading challenge is a fun way to encourage students to read through the summer, and helps prepare them for more learning in the fall.
Information about the summer challenge, including grade-level reading suggestions and a summer reading journal can be found on the State Department of Education website at this link.
