My Project

Students love the care free days of summer; the break from academics is great for children, however it can have an impact on their academic performance when they return to school at the end of summer. School initiate many programs to encourage reading over the summer; students who participate in these programs tend to have less summer reading loss than their peers.

We are hoping to inspire students to engage in writing activities over the summer as a way to prevent or lessen summer loss in written production.

It is he hope that students will choose to engage in writing if it is presented in a fun way; we will do this by making the assignment "Top Secret."
