Imagine you live in a home with few books. Imagine you brought home a handful of "just right" books thinking the Coronavirus would only shut schools down for a couple of weeks. Now imagine you have been home with those same 10-12 books for nearly two months! Kids who fall into this category may also lack the technology needed to seek other outlets for reading material.
To address the needs of these vulnerable students it is critical to provide new reading material at individual reading levels so that they will be motivated to read. Without renewed inspiration, students will begin their "summer slide" long before summer hits. The farther students slide now, the greater the challenge to reach grade level next fall. New books equal new engagement and new enthusiasm.
