Summer Reading Program to help your child continue learning and reading.

Want your child to continue reading this summer? 
Consider signing him/ her up for this program, through Lyndon State College, for the summer. It looks great! It includes decoding lessons, fluency practice, and comprehension work. On line books are included, and the video lessons look really engaging and tons of fun. This recommendation 
came from another BPMS parent and Mrs. Ehtesham.
