Summer Reading Resources

Dear Families,

As summer begins, we are excited to share helpful and fun resources from all four schools to keep your child reading all season long! Developing strong reading habits early is key to lifelong learning, and summer is the perfect time to nurture a love for books.

Research shows that children who don’t read over the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress. In fact, a study by the National Summer Learning Association highlights that consistent reading during the summer helps prevent the “summer slide” and supports continued academic growth, especially in early readers.

Here are a variety of engaging book suggestions, online tools and local library programs that will help keep your child excited about reading throughout the break!

We hope you’ll explore these resources together and make reading a fun part of your summer routine.

Happy Reading!

Warm regards,

Nicole Waldbauer

The achievements of Wading River School fifth graders were celebrated at the school’s annual moving up ceremony on June 25.

Principal Lou Parrinello congratulated the students and shared words of wisdom as they head to Prodell Middle School in the fall. Students were encouraged to take advantage of all the opportunities at the middle school and take the lessons they’ve learned in Wading River School with them.

Set goals and reach for the stars, students!

Wading River School fifth graders had some helpful peer leaders and guides when they visited Prodell Middle School on June 20. Prodell Principal Kevin Vann announced the changing of classes where students and their fifth grade teachers met up with art teacher Clare Finnican, librarian Ann-Marie Kalin, guidance counselors Eugene Sicoli and Lauren Waldron and others to learn the ropes when they enter Prodell as sixth graders in September.
