📖 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:
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!
