PES Summer Reading 2013
1. All students and staff reading all summer!
Summer Reading
Phippsburg Elementary School
2. Why is it so important to
read over the summer?
This year, 59% of students in grades 3-5 had
summer reading loss (64% of 3rd graders, 69% of
4th graders, 42% of 5th graders).
40% of all our students had summer reading
loss.
Summer reading loss is cumulative; by middle
school, this means a potential total loss of
2 YEARS!
4. The specifics:
On the last day of school, your child will come
home with a bag containing:
Book(s)
