Summer Reading 2021 is almost here!
|
Relax, play, and have fun this summer. Keep reading, too! By reading 20+ minutes a day, students avoid the "summer academic slide" and maintain or advance academic gains. To support summer reading and learning, The Cobb County School District's Library Media Education Department, in conjunction with the Cobb County Public Library, Smyrna Public Library, and Marietta City Schools, challenges all students to read 20 minutes every day and set a goal to read for 15 hours this summer!
Beanstack is our summer reading platform again this summer! It's like a "fitbit for reading." The summer reading challenge will begin on June 1, 2021 and end on July 31, 2021.
Beanstack is available as website and an app. For more information and to sign up, visit http://www.cobbcat.org/summer/ |
