Summer Reading Program
Holy Family homes are full of good books and strong readers. Throughout the school year, we support our readers, and over the summer we require that students maintain or even grow their reading skills by actively reading!
For incoming PK-1st graders, we encourage you to keep your children in a literature-rich environment and make reading a habit every day.
For students in grades 2 – 8, we build on this encouragement and ask students to select and prepare two books as a challenge of their creativity and thinking skills. These projects are presented to their ELA teacher during the second week of school.
Additionally, students in grades 4 – 8 may choose to use Summer Reading as a time to begin the year-long Lectio Awards Reading Program. This program encourages students to pursue a 20-book reading challenge during the school year. This program engages this age-group with high-quality, high-interest books. Awards, prizes, and recognition for this program are given each Spring.
