Reading Over the Holidays
Nerida Finlayson
Research clearly shows that when kids put down school books on their break, their reading ability also drops with it. Teachers in Australia frequently report that students return to school after their break with a lower reading level and interest in books, than when they left previously. Therefore it’s vital that we continue to encourage our children to read widely and often whilst they are on holidays.
The following links will provide you with some great tips on how to keep your child reading over the holidays.
