Summer+Reading

=Summer Reading= N. Froehlich

The research is very clear: children who read during school breaks retain their skills and tend to develop better habits as independent readers. The challenge has been to motivate those who may be reluctant. Eager readers deserve encouragement and rewards, as well. Our students love mysteries and we expect that they will enjoy New York State Library's Statewide Summer Reading Program “Get a clue @ YOUR LIBRARY” at the Uniondale Public Library. Each student who participates in the program will receive a free book from their Uniondale School District librarian and a chance to win a fabulous “Basket of Mysteries”. Each school in our district will hold a raffle for a basket. Registration for this free club takes place at the Uniondale Public Library. Please stop by the library on Uniondale Avenue or call 516-489-2220 for more information. Will you be out of town this summer? Ways to keep up with reading and enter to win the basket will be provided in June.

Stymied for ideas? The Uniondale School District has posted a summer reading newsletter, Reading: Exercise for the Brain, and information about the school/library partnership. Click [|here] to link to some wonderful suggestions!
