6. Promote Reading for Pleasure

LitCamp: The program introduces children to skills in an engaging camp environment and has been shown to significantly impact students’ attitudes and beliefs about themselves as readers.

Children who read for pleasure and are motivated to read do significantly better at school than their peers who rarely read (Cunningham & Stanovich, 2003; Hiebert & Reutzel, 2010; Wilhelm, 2017).

Scholastic Scholar Zone Summer: Scholar Zone’s flexible curriculum connects students to engaging activities that support reading.
