Keep kids reading all summer long with take-home packs that are guaranteed to engage and proven to work. In a 2016 case study, 78% of students in Grades 3–5 maintained or increased their reading level 1 after receiving Scholastic’s summer books and other learning materials. With a variety of options to choose from, My Books Summer is one of the best (and most affordable) ways to keep students on track for next school year.
outcomes ⊲ Maintain and raise reading levels with books, skill-building activities, and writing prompts that are proven to work. ⊲ Boost comprehension skills with title-specific Think Sheets for every book in the pack. ⊲ Spark student engagement with take- home packs that align with their interests— including fiction, nonfiction, STEM, genre study, and more. ⊲ Strengthen family engagement with books for home libraries and strategies to help caregivers integrate reading into daily life (Grades PreK–5 only). Just 5 books... Reading just five books during the summer can prevent a decline in reading achievement when returning to school. —Home Libraries Research & Validation Paper, 2023
