Kensington Elementary School
Kensington Never Stops Reading
Summer is right around the corner, but don’t put those books away because Kensington never stops reading!
Studies have shown that there is a significant loss in learning during summer months for students who do not read. This phenomenon has been called by a variety of names: “summer slide,” “summer setback,” “summer shortfall,” “summer reading loss.” Research clearly shows that students who don’t read during the summer begin school the following fall at a significant disadvantage compared with students who read when school is not in session.
In order to encourage summer reading, the Kensington School Site Council, in conjunction with the Kensington faculty, is sponsoring a program, called “Kensington Never Stops Reading!”
Our goals are to put books into the hands of every child in our school and to encourage participation in one of the many library summer reading programs.
