Bookbags, folders, and summer reading!

Please make sure that your child has their bookbag and folder each day this week.

Virginia Beach Schools are partnering with the Virginia Beach Public Library on an exciting endeavor aimed to prevent Summer Slide, the reading regression that takes place when students take an extended break from reading. Students often require more than 9 weeks to recover the loss in reading ability due to inactivity.
To support this effort, Kingston students are encouraged to participate using one of the following options:

·         Read and log at least 5 books during summer break

·         Read and log at least 200 pages during summer break

·         Complete the Virginia Beach Public Library Summer Program

In September, bring the student reading log back to school during the first week of school. We will have a celebration of our students’ reading success with a SUMMER READING CELEBRATION, complete with ice cream for all participants.
