5/6 Grade Center

While summer is a time for relaxing and spending family time together, it is also a time when a few minutes reading every day can help students maintain or even accelerate their reading comprehension and fluency!

Reading about five to six books of your child's choice over the summer is the best way to help with reading growth. However, if you are in need of reading resources, our reading specialists, Mrs. Jennifer McGlade and Ms. Leah Keyser, have created a 10-week reading comprehension program for both grades 5 and 6 which is available to download and print. You can simply download one 5-day set of interesting text and comprehension questions each week. It should only take about 15-20 minutes each day to complete the program

Happy Reading and Happy Summer!
