Summer Online Reading

Summer is right around the corner!  While we want our students to enjoy some time off from school, wouldn't it be great for students to continue to work on some skills over the summer?  We Give Books is a great way to do just that!
Students can read books online anytime if they have  internet access, an email account and sign up on the website.  I have always been a fan of having a real book in my hands, but over the last year I have really started to read more using the Kindle app or other electronic forms. 
There is also a free 10 week summer program to keep students reading all summer.  What a great idea!
