📖 Welcome to Story Steelers: LCSD's 2025 Summer Reading Program!

We’re thrilled to launch our Story Steelers Summer Reading Program—an exciting opportunity for students to keep their minds active and their imaginations soaring all summer long!

🌞 Why Summer Reading Matters

Research shows that reading during the summer helps students:

  • Retain and build academic skills

  • Expand vocabulary and improve comprehension

  • Develop empathy, creativity, and critical thinking

  • Discover new interests and lifelong passions

When students read for pleasure, they return to school more confident and ready to learn—and that’s exactly what Story Steelers is all about.

📚 How It Works

Our theme encourages students to “steal time” each day to read. Every student will receive a reading log, and families can also access the digital version here:

tinyurl.com/StorySteelers.

For every book a student reads and logs, they’ll be entered into a raffle to win prizes. The more they read, the better their chances!

To support your reader, we’ve put together a recommended book list filled with exciting, age-appropriate titles across all genres—from fantasy and mystery to humor and nonfiction. Lexile levels are included to help choose books that are just right, but remember: the best book is the one your child is excited to read!

🎉 Let’s Make Reading Fun

We hope this program sparks a love of reading that lasts a lifetime. Whether it's in a hammock, on the porch, or before bedtime—encourage your child to steal a little time each day for a great story.

Let the summer reading adventures begin!
