SynopsisInspired by the increased number of summer reading camps set up by schools to help struggling readers, this book offers a detailed description of a research-based summer reading program and useful suggestions on how to replicate it in your school. Written in a clear and friendly style by two of the country's top scholars in literacy and ESL, Summer Reading Strategies provides teachers with a solid framework rooted in scientific data supporting how summer reading programs succeed, including standardized test scores as well as personal reflections from teachers and students on how to implement a summer reading camp. Stephen Krashen and Fay Shin inspire teachers to drive students of diverse backgrounds to excel outside the academic classroom, promoting success from one year through to the next., Well-researched and often cited, this book is the go-to resource for literacy development through recreational reading on summer break. Shin and Krashen report that children who read recreationally over the summer return to the school year with gains in literacy, while children who do not backslide. Independent, voluntary reading will occur--whether skilled or challenged--as long as children are given access to books of quality and interest. An informative but friendly narrative explains the research-based plan for designing successful summer literacy programs. The appendix includes activities, blackline masters, and advice for commonly experienced challenges, such as working with administrators on summer program needs., Get kids hooked on books! " Summer Reading is a timely look at the power of reading in the development of student literacy. It delivers a potent message to administrators, classroom teachers, reading specialists, and librarians to design summer reading programs based on a balanced view of reading instruction." Sheila Bostrom, Brush Schools, Colorado Inspired by school-established summer reading camps designed to help struggling readers, Dr. Fay Shin and Dr. Stephen Krashen have built a research-based plan to guide schools in replicating this successful strategy. Written in a friendly style by two top scholars in literacy and ESL, Summer Reading: Program and Evidence provides a framework rooted in scientific data supporting how these programs succeed. By including standardized test scores as well as personal reflections from teachers and students on building effective summer reading camps, the authors motivate teachers to help students excel beyond the traditional classroom, promoting success from one year to the next. Why Summer Reading Matters Helps children become confident and competent readers. Encourages students to read books they enjoy and can access. Fosters teacher-student relationships and promotes students' motivation to engage with reading., Addresses the issues of children of diverse backgrounds and middle class and how these children make similar gains over the academic year, but children of diverse backgrounds fall behind during the summer. Provides a detailed description of a research-based summer reading program and useful suggestions on how to replicate it in an elementary or middle school. Written for upper elementary and middle school teachers, while the research applies to elementary, middle, and high school.
