Participation in Summer Reading directly impacts student achievement.

• Recent research confirms that students who do not read or engage in meaningful thinking activities can lose up to 30% of progress gained during their school year.
• The good news is that the research also shows that students who engage in reading book offerings, discussing books, and offering opportunities to have books read aloud or read-along counteracts any possible summer slide.

Establishing a habit of lifelong reading early and nurturing it throughout our children’s school years is critical to a child’s success in life.

We strongly encourage all parents to access your Greenwich Public Library branch or Perrot Library.  The public librarians will be able to help recommend titles and guide you on how to access them from either the Greenwich Public Schools or Greenwich Library digital collections.

Many thanks to the Greenwich Public Schools Library Media Specialists and Public Librarians who have contributed to this program.

Students can access, select and borrow titles using the Greenwich Public Library Digital Collection at Overdrive located at:

• K-6 Summer Reading
• 7-8 Summer Reading

 

You will need a Greenwich Library Card to check out ebooks from Greenwich Public Library.
