How do you prevent the “summer slide”? Read, read, read!
When kids are engaged in reading during the summer, they are better prepared for the new school year. Luckily, there are many great opportunities to keep them motivated.
1) Here at Langsford, we have 2 workshops that offer great reading practice:
