Bring your books on break! The Clark County School District (CCSD) encourages students to continue building their reading skills over the summer months. Students should read throughout the day, all summer long, at least 30 minutes a day. Students can read books, magazines, comic books … any reading counts!

Remember, reading includes much more than just books. Here are 100 ways to make reading more enjoyable and motivate your children to read. Parents and guardians are invited to learn strategies for establishing consistent family reading routines from this three part video series.
