Dear Parents,
===As the end of the school year approaches, we want to emphasize how critical it is for all students to continue reading throughout the summer. Research shows that a decrease or absence of daily reading in the summer causes a decline in reading comprehension and fluency.===

===Tara Ethridge, our learning hub librarian, has developed a wiki http://isbsummerreading.wikispaces.com that provides students and parents with resources that will support continued development in reading through the summer. Please take some time to become familiar with this resource.===

===Please make reading a part of what you do as a family this summer, every day. Visit libraries, read chapter books outloud together, talk about books, model daily reading yourself. Make it what you do! It will make a big difference when students return to school in August.===
