State Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer is encouraging students to continue growing, learning and developing– even though school is out of session until September– by participating in his Summer Reading Program.
“As the school year comes to an end, students are turning their thoughts away from books to vacation. This program is a great way to promote literacy and keep children’s minds active when they are not in a classroom. I encourage students to indulge in the wonderful world of books by participating in the Summer Reading Program,” said Ranzenhofer.
The theme of this year’s program is Build A Better World. For more information, students and parents can log on to ranzenhofer.nysenate.gov, create a profile, record reading progress, share books on Facebook and earn a certificate.
Evidence shows that children who stop reading over the summer break often fall behind when they return to class in September. Over 2.1 million students participated in summer reading at New York libraries last year.
