All young people experience learning loss when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. Research spanning 100 years shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer.Reading will help you to prevent “summer slide/learning loss” and will introduce you to some GREAT BOOKS! This year you will get extra points for all books related to countries outside the United States.
Instructions
