📘✨ Nonfiction Summer Spotlight! Looking for fun, educational summer activities? ReadWorks offers free, self‑printed nonfiction reading packets for grades 1–8. Research shows that high‑interest nonfiction and short daily reading (10–15 minutes!) help kids build knowledge, expand vocabulary, and maintain reading skills over break. Parents, here’s how to make it work: 1. Pick a packet or workbook based on your child’s grade level. 2. Read together or let them explore independently - either way, just a few pages a day go a long way. 3. Talk about it! Ask, “What new fact did you learn today?” to boost comprehension and connection. https://about.readworks.org/summer-reading.html

Did you know that reading just 20 minutes a day over the summer can help students maintain—and even boost—their literacy skills? 📖✨ Summer reading helps kids grow their vocabulary, expand their imaginations, and return to school ready to soar! Here are a few fun ways to encourage summer reading: ✅ Let kids choose their own books ✅ Visit the public library together (view the photo below!) ✅ Start a family reading challenge ✅ Read outside under a shady tree or at the beach! Let’s keep those young minds active all summer long! 📚💡 Happy reading, Chargers! 💙💛

📱☀️ Research shows that too much screen time can negatively impact focus, sleep, and social development. Let’s help our kids stay active, curious, and connected (to more than just Wi-Fi) this summer! 🌳📚 #ScreenSmartSummer #ChapmanChargers
