As each summer approaches I begin to worry about that ever increasing issue of the “summer reading slide”. I am sure this is a big concern for many teachers, especially with the Common Core Standard’s increased rigor in the area of reading. I researched some summer reading programs that teachers might be interested in introducing to their students. Also, I have included some articles about the issue of summer reading loss. I will add to this list as I come across more ideas and articles. Feel free to respond to add to this list.
