For students, an ideal summer is made up of hanging out by the pool, trips to the beach, video games, shopping at the mall and most importantly, absolutely no school! While we highly recommend students spending at least some of their summer maintaining skills or preparing for the new school year with summer classes there is also another way to make sure you are not falling behind over the summer: summer reading.

ideal time to hang out by the
pool, go to the beach, play
video and most importantly
There is no school!
3. We highly recommend:

There is yet another way to make sure you are not
falling behind over the summer.
10. One of the Best Reasons
for Summer Reading
Is to ensure that all of your hard work is not lost
to summer learning loss.
11. Studies show that,
Over the Summer “The average
learning Loss in math and
reading for American
Students Amounts to
One Month per year.”
-New York times

× Spending lazy summer days by the pool
sounds ideal,
× but you are not doing yourself any favors.

the summer and avoid losing some of your hard-
earned education
35. Check out this example of
excellent descriptive writing:
“Spring had come early that year, with warm quick rains
and sudden frothing of pink peach blossoms and
dogwood dappling with white stars the dark river swamp
and far-off hills...The whitewashed brick plantation house
seemed an island set in a wild red sea, a sea of spiraling,
curving, crescent billows petrified suddenly at the
moment when the pink-tipped waves were breaking into
surf.”
Margaret Mitchell in Gone with the Wind
37. Check out this example of an
argument:
“We have waited for more than three hundred and forty
years for our God-given and constitutional rights. The
nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jet-like speed
toward the goal of political independence, and we still
creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward the gaining of a
cup of coffee at a lunch counter. I guess it is easy for
those who have never felt the stinging darts of
segregation to say "wait." But when you have seen
vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and
drown your sisters and brothers at whim... then you will
understand why we find it difficult to wait.”
Martin Luther King Jr in Letter from Birmingham Jail
46. Guess WHat?
Research shows that “reading is the
best way to relax and even six
minutes can be enough to reduce
stress levels more than two-thirds.”
