Mrs. Lowe's first graders picked books to read at home over the summer. Why? Reading is fun AND if students don't practice their reading skills over the summer they may lose up to 3 months of learning. That's the equivalent of forgetting everything they've learned since the beginning of March. Reading or being read to for 20 minutes a day will make a huge difference in the skills students return to school with in the fall. #proudcardinal
