Reading 4 or 5 books over the summer helps to prevent the summer slide. Fifth grade students, start with Level E. Too hard, go back to C then work your way up!

Accessible and engaging texts for summer reading

Students who don't read much over the summer show a decline in reading performance from the end of one grade to the start of the next. Research done at Harvard University by James Kim shows that even reading 4 or 5 books over the summer helps to prevent the summer slump.

Having books at home explains how much students read over the summer. Unfortunately, the very students who are most at-risk are the ones who often don't have enough books. SummerReads changes this situation by providing accessible, engaging texts for at-risk readers... for FREE! And it provides enough text for an entire summer of reading.

Research also shows that the texts that at-risk readers will spend time on in out-of-school settings need to be accessible and engaging. SummerReads texts are both:

Accessible: The difficulty of the texts is based on the TExT model developed by Elfrieda (Freddy) Hiebert. The TExT model of reading is the same one that was used to develop QuickReads® and Zip Zoom™. This model uses research to identify the words and phonics knowledge that students need to succeed at particular grade levels. These critical words are repeated often in SummerReads.

Engaging: Topics of SummerReads deal with information about summer activities and themes-the games that children play in the summer, places that they might visit in their communities, weather that usually happens only in summer, and so on.

Here's what you get... for FREE

Leveled Texts There are three levels in the SummerReads program, each aimed at "getting students ready" for a particular grade level in the fall-third, fourth and fifth.

An Abundance of Texts Each of the 7 books at a level has 3 chapters. 7 books x 3 chapters = 21 unique selections, one for each week of summer vacation. These are texts that students won't have seen during the school year in that they are brand-new and summer-specific!

Please note we have released a May 2015 edition of SummerReads. In the current edition, we have updated the leveling system from Getting Ready for Grade 3 (or 4, 5) to Level C (or D, E). The texts remain true to the original release of SummerReads and have not been altered.

Resources The SummerReads program includes resources for teachers, students and parents:

Each book starts with guidelines on how to use the book.

There are comprehension questions at the end of each book.

There is a place where students can keep records of their reading of chapters within books.

If students have access to computers (e.g., the library), a recording of each text will be made available. This recording allows students to monitor and check their reading.

AAA Math features a comprehensive set of thousands of interactive arithmetic lessons.

There is no cost or registration required to practice your math on the AAAMath.com web site.

Unlimited practice is available on each topic which allows thorough mastery of the concepts.

A wide range of lessons (Kindergarten through Eighth grade level) enables learning or review to occur at each individual's current level.

Immediate feedback prevents practicing and learning incorrect methods, which is a common result of traditional homework and worksheets. Practice can continue as long as desired in a non-threatening format which helps build self-esteem and confidence.

Please feel free to try the lessons by clicking on one of the grades at the top or a topic area on the left side of the page.

Remember to add the site to your Favorite Places and please tell others about the site. It is an excellent way to learn or review math.

Note: Due to heavy traffic a page may not load properly. The same content is available at: AAAKnow.com, AAAStudy.com, 321Know.com and AAAMath.com
