As this wonderful and amazing school year comes to a close I want to remind all of our Rainbow Valley readers and their families that there are several public library locations in Virginia Beach. These are a GREAT resource for summer reading. Please visit them.
Did you know that a child needs to read at least five books over the summer to maintain what he or she has learned during the school year? If they don't this can put them behind in September by 2-3 months. Can you afford for this to happen?
John B. Dey encourages summer reading. Your child can participate in the JBD summer reading program. If you are not sure how, let me know.
Here are some great sites to keep the spark of reading ignited for our kids and to help to inform you about summer reading.
