RCISD Summer Reading
Where will books take you this summer?
#RCISDLibraries #SummerReading25
Let the summer adventures begin!
Use the links below to get started on your summer reading! You can choose Sora Sweet Reads, Scholastic, Capstone, C.F. Goodwin, the Rockwall Public Library or all of them! The choice is yours!
Complete a summer reading activity of your choosing here (Summer Reading Bingo, Summer Reading log, Book Shelfie, Genre Challenge or Summer Reading Book Report) to keep track of your adventures. If you'd rather create a digital activity, you can create a digital book journal from the Sora Sweet Reads website & email your creation to your librarian. Turn the completed activity of your choosing into your school librarian by August 15, 2025 for a trip to the BOOK VENDING MACHINE (or an alternate prize option if your campus does not have a book vending machine)! Print the activity of your choice here or go to the Sora Sweet Reads website for more information on the digital book journal.
Summer reading not only helps to prevent the SUMMER SLIDE but also develops habits that create life-time readers. Click here for more information on the summer slide & how families can encourage summer reading.

Overdrive/Sora is offering a collection of free, simultaneous-use ebooks (and select audiobooks) that spans grades K-12. These titles will be available to participating schools and prominently displayed in Sora so it’s easy for students to find their next sweet read.
