How do the beads work?
Kids read and record their minutes (or have a grown-up help them track time) then they turn those minutes into beads of varying colors, shapes, and designs to decorate and personalize their very own necklace. Each minute read can count towards a bead you will earn. |

Pembroke Public Schools Summer Reading
Keep up with education and imagination all summer long to limit the effects of the "summer slide." The summer slide is a decline in reading ability and other academic skills that can occur over the summer months when school isn’t in session. Numerous studies show that kids who don’t read during summer vacation actually slip in reading ability by the time autumn rolls around.
