Summer Reading
At the end of every year, many parents ask us, "What can we do this summer to keep my child's skills sharp so they will be ready for next year?" These activities are fun, easy and extremely beneficial:

1. Enjoy your time together. Have fun. Get to know each other. Laugh together a lot.
2. Encourage your child to read everything they can get their hands on that is on their independent reading level.
3. Read with and to your child to improve fluency. Every age child loves to be read to.
4. Talk about what is being read to improve comprehension.
5. Expose your child to a wide variety of words when speaking and reading in order to enhance their   vocabulary. Speak, list and write with words like adore, cherish, devoted to, infatuated with, irresistible, fond of partial to, etc., instead of "love".
6. Expose them to variety of experiences and then talk and write about them by writing stories, listing
descriptive words, etc.

If you want additional materials for your child to give him practice on specific grade-level skills, we are participating in a new program that you may find interesting. The materials are called "Summer Books". You may go online to order the appropriate level for your child in order to "ensure readiness for their new class in the fall". At the same time, you will be helping Aucilla Christian Academy earn a small commission on the sale of the books. Please check them out, if you think they are appropriate for the kinds of things you would like for your child to do this summer, you can order directly from the company right here on our Web site.
