Embark on an Adventure of Reading! Meet Long John Silver!

Summer is here!  With it comes fun, relaxation and stillness to reflect, read, or to be.  A great time for our soul to savour the moment and our mind to engage in fun summer reading.

Any teacher will tell you reading is a great practice to building skills.  Grammar. Vocabulary.  Writing and of course, reading. Particularly, the speed of reading and one's comprehension of the story being offered to either inform or entertain. 

A great classic is "Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson.  An adventure on the high seas in the Caribbean, fighting off pirates and looking for a buried treasure.  It can take us all back to a gentle, calmer time as children as we sat under a tree away from the sun, or ventured into a camping tent on a rainy afternoon, waiting for our imagination to take us back in time!  



Enjoy!  Here's the map:
