Summer Learning Resources
1. CCPS Summer Reading Link -
Carroll County Public Library - The Carroll County Public Library Summer Reading Program will run from June 1st through August 13th. Over and over again, studies show that children who read during the summer do much better in school when it starts again in the fall. On the other hand, children who do not read during the summer demonstrate a significant loss. Students may sign up at the public library or at http://events.carr.org/carroll/sr/homepage.asp . The program will feature a number of special FREE programs and prizes at the library all summer long.
2. Activity Calendars - These calendars provide activities your child can do that will promote practice in reading, writing, and/or math.
