Summer reading is critical for students to retain knowledge and skills learned in the previous school year.Â
Students who donât read are at risk of falling behind their classmates. Parents and teachers can avoid this by making sure kids take time to read.
Reading during summer vacation may not be a priority for children, but parents and teachers should make it one. Why? Summer reading is critical to a childâs ability to not only retain information learned the previous year, but also to grow in knowledge. Reading on a daily basis at a specific time is great way to make sure the reading is done.

As California endures another lockdown due to surging COVID-19 infection rates and area hospitals are facing strained ICU resources, testing availability has become a challenging obstacle to tracking the infection.
While many local places offer testing, availability is typically limited to appointment-only, which have been hampered by resource availability.
Oak Valley Hospital offers local testing by appointment only and must be accompanied by a physician referral.
Modern Urgent Care offers local testing: walk-ins without insurance must pay $249 for the test; those with insurance must use the online portal to make an appointment but the system has been locked up for weeks.
