Avoid the summer slide! Reading ability can drop if students don’t read for pleasure over the summer break! We encourage our students to read the Florida Teens Read books to get a head start on the school year. Click here to see the list. The St. Johns County Public Library has all of the titles in print and ebook formats, so make sure to visit them in person or online throughout the summer to avoid the summer slide!
