"My goal is to read 100 books for summer reading!" It's a lofty goal for any young student, but for Annika it's especially challenging. Annika has dyslexia.
Yet, she's not worried. Actually, she's excited! Annika joined a
summer reading program designed specifically for students like her, students with print disabilities. The program is offered by
Learning Ally, a national non-profit that provides audiobooks to students with print disabilities.
"She is having a really good time keeping track of her goals while chatting with friends, relatives, and teachers about what she's reading," says her mother, Catherine. Those same friends get involved by
sponsoring Annika to read!
Join in the summer reading fun!
You can read along with Annika! First join
Summer Reading Together and
create your own page, then set your goals (aim high) and ask friends and family to sponsor you. There's even a section where they can cheer you on as discuss books with you!
