PAPER LOGS / HOJAS DE REGISTRO
The Beanstack app is awesome, but for you old-school Summer Readers who love holding a paper log in your hands, download one of these PDFs to track your efforts.
La aplicación “Beanstack” es fantástica, pero para aquellas personas de la vieja escuela que prefieren trabajar con papel en mano, tendremos una hoja de registro en formato PDF que pueden imprimir, y donde pueden ir anotando sus logros (¡y guardarla como recuerdo!)
WHY SUMMER READING MATTERS / POR QUÉ ES TAN IMPORTANTE LA LECTURA EN EL VERANO
Reading during the summer helps our kiddos avoid what's called the 'summer slide', the tendency for young people to lose critical skills learned during the school year when brains are less engaged over summer break, making it much harder to jump back into school in the fall if students fall behind. Families with means can invest in summer enrichment programs for their children, but young folks whose families are struggling to make ends meet are the most at risk and vulnerable to decreases in reading skills. We've made it part of our mission to fill that gap. With dedicated youth professionals and librarians, we ensure every kid and teen in town has a place to learn, connect, create, and grow their brains for the next three months. Download summerlearning.org's "Summer Reading by the Numbers" PDF here.
La lectura durante el verano ayuda a que nuestrxs niñxs no pierdan habilidades que han ido adquiriendo durante el año escolar. Permite que sus cerebros continúen activos, facilitando el reingreso en la escuela en el otoño y evitando que inicien el nuevo curso con retraso. Las familias que disponen de solvencia económica a menudo pagan para que sus hijxs participen en programas de verano, pero esto no le es posible a familias con menos recursos, cuyxs hijxs están en mayor riesgo de perder las habilidades que han ido ganando durante el año escolar. Estamos comprometidxs a proveer medios para remediar las consecuencias de esta inequidad de recursos. Gracias a la ayuda de nuestrxs bibliotecarixs y profesionales, trabajamos para asegurar que todxs lxs niñxs y adolescentes de Lawrence tengan acceso a un espacio para aprender, conectar con otrxs, crear y cultivar la mente durante los próximos tres meses.
