<p>HOUSTON – June 19, 2017 – Spring ISD has just launched an action-packed summer program to help students avoid the summer slide – the tendency for children to lose some of the skills they work so hard to develop and grow during the past school year.</p>
<p>Reading is one area where summer slide can be really impactful if not addressed, and the district is providing recommended, age-appropriate reading lists for elementary, middle and high school students to help avoid that pitfall.</p>
<p>The reading lists are located on the ”Avoid the Summer Slide – It’s a risk to your success” webpage along with a checklist of 101 Things to Do Over Summer, and Ready Rosie Summer Soar activities for preschoolers. Go to <a href=”/avoidthesummerslide”>www.springisd.org/avoidthesummerslide</a> for these and other resources in both English and Spanish.</p>
<p>In addition, parents and students are invited to follow the district on <a href=”http://facebook.com/SpringISD” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>Facebook</a> and <a href=”http://twitter.com/SpringISD” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>Twitter</a> for timely tips and updates to help students stay on top of their game this summer and be better prepared when they start school in August.</p>
