With summer quickly approaching, most children are counting the days until school ends and daydreaming on how to spend their class-free days.
While summer vacation is a good way for kids to take a break and refresh from classes and homework, research shows children who don’t read enough during the summer actually fall behind in their reading skills come September.
A summer reading club is available through the Vancouver Island Regional Library, offering programs to children in kindergarten to Grade 7 and a Read to Me program for preschoolers and those not reading independently.
Registration begins July 3 and for more information, please visit www.virl.bc.ca.
