5. Encourage Motivation and Engagement

LitCamp: LitCamp engages students in various authentic texts, including Spanish and bilingual texts, amplifying motivation, curiosity, and confidence.

Students who play a role in selecting their reading materials are more motivated to read, expend more effort to read, and gain a better understanding of texts (Gambrell, 1996; Guthrie, 2008; Schiefele, 1991).

Scholastic Scholar Zone Summer: Students can choose from book-club, read- aloud, and small-group titles to connect with authentic texts that increase engagement and interest in learning. The program includes engaging real-world content and cross-discipline connections, increasing engagement and interest in learning. My Books Summer: Students have the option to self-select their books, which research indicates, contributes positively to students' reading motivation and comprehension. Additionally, each book bundle has a Summer Reading Journal to encourage reflection and foster student engagement with texts.
