Summer Reading List 2020

Silver Palms Elementary recognizes the importance of ensuring that students continue to strengthen reading skills and develop a passion for reading beyond the classroom. Experience and current research support the idea that students who are actively engaged in reading throughout the summer demonstrate improved academic performance, thus ensuring that they do not fall two months behind for the following school year. Cultivating pleasurable reading helps build reading skills and enriches students’ knowledge base. Summer reading provides students with an opportunity for recreational reading, personal exploration, and continued intellectual growth.
