Read to Lead, Read to Grow
ven though it's summer, E make sure to maintain your kid's reading skills.
Now is the chance to enjoy a break, and also dive into an exciting, new book for free! Chances are many children will not read, and research shows children lose one to three months of learning every summer. Prevent this summer learning loss by getting your children excited about reading. Los Hermanos Familia (LHF), a local nonprofit reminds you that although summer is a time children can relax, reading can help them unwind. More so, when children read, their minds also grow. That's why LHF created their "Read to Lead, Read to Grow" campaign. They urge children and families to implement a reading read if they don't have one, to sustain their reading skills over the summer, and despite COVID-19.
They also urge families to visit their little library, or any library. If your child doesn’t have a library card, summer is a great time to sign up. Take advantage of the free, child-friendly summer reading programs. Also, when planning summer activities with children, remember to leave some time in their schedules for reading. Some convenient times may be before bedtime or over breakfast. Use books to break the boredom. Without the regular school regimen, adults and kids need more activities to fill the hours. So read aloud, and be a storyteller, tell them about your familia and growing up. Combine summer activities with books, and let them know that reading is an important part of your life. Visit www.loshermanosfamilia. org/readtolead-readtogrow for your free digital library.
