This Summer, Get Your Kids "Revved Up" for Reading
It's summer, a time for kids to relax, visit friends, 
enjoy the great outdoors, and dive into an exciting, new book.
Research shows children lose one to three months of learning every summer. Prevent this summer learning loss by getting your children "revved up" for reading.
Start by encouraging them to participate in the Reading Planet Grand Prix, in conjunction with the Scholastic Summer Reading Buzz contest, sponsored by Target. Kids can enter to win amazing prizes, including a family vacation to Orlando, FL from American Airlines and AA Vacations. They will also be reading for a good cause, because for every 4 books they read, Scholastic will donate 1 book to RIF, up to 50,000 books! |

Summer Reading Quick Tips |
- Relax the rules for summer
During the school year, children often have busy schedules and required reading. Summer is a time when they can relax and read what, when, and how they please.
- Lead by example
Stuff a paperback in your beach bag. If kids see you reading often, they will understand that literature can be a fun and important part of their summer days.
