Summer Reading & Supplies

Summer is an important time for students to keep reading and improve their language skills. Reading is crucial to a child’s success in all school subjects and in the world outside of the school. The purpose of the RTCA Summer Reading Program is to encourage students to enjoy quality literature, continue developing their independent reading skills, learn new information and build their vocabulary. Summer reading is required for grades 4-12. The reading assignments will be given the last week of school for the next school year.
