Literacy shouldn't take a summer break. 

When the school year concludes, summer break presents a golden opportunity for students to further hone the skills they’ve developed during the academic year and explore new worlds through reading. 

At Follett Content, we understand the importance of summer reading and are committed to providing you with the high-quality books and resources you need to keep students engaged over the long break. From high-interest fiction that students won’t want to put down to workbooks focusing on literacy skills and mathematics, we’re your partner in minimizing the “summer slide” and fostering a lifelong love of learning!

Here are just a few benefits to investing in a summer reading plan:

• Preventing the Summer Slide – By providing access to high-quality, engaging books and resources, schools can avoid the academic regressions that can occur over summer.
• Supporting Equity and Access – Not all students have access to books and educational resources at home and schools can help fill the gap. 
• Fostering Education Beyond the Classroom – Offering a summer reading program is a great way to extend learning into the home, fostering the holistic education of your students.
• Creating Independent Readers – Reading over the summer enables students to engage with books on their own terms, free from the constraints of the classroom. This helps cultivate a sense of agency over one’s education and a personalized love of reading.
