SUMMER READING FOR 2026

Why should students read during the summer?

Students who read during the summer can grow and explore new experiences to support lifelong reading habits. Summer is a great time for students to read for pleasure and dive deep into their favorite genre or experience something new. Providing students with a choice in what they read increases their reading motivation and engagement.

Benefits to support the summer reading leap:

  • Building vocabulary
  • Developing reading skills
  • Enjoying new stories
  • Learning new information
