Summer Reading!

Hello DDS teachers, parents and students!

Denver Discovery School would like to champion the summer reading activities offered through Denver Public Library’s Summer of Adventure Program by focusing on a couple of reading goals that will help our students with their academic success.

At DDS we believe reading is fundamental in developing lifelong learners and responsible young adults. Furthermore, we embrace the Denver Public Libraries’ view that reading should be accessible, fun, and enriching.

Our two DDS goals, therefore, are below:

• Having students explore different reading materials like magazines, newspapers, journals, databases, ebooks (available through DPL’s website and through Denver Public School’s Sora site … both free! Students can use their chrome books to access both).
• To engage in dedicated reading for at least 20 minutes a day.

***** Students can chart their reading on a simple homemade chart. Reading logs will be collected in the DDS Library in the fall when we return to school. Please be sure to include your full name and student number at the top of the page. *****

There will be cool prizes!
