Summer break is a time for fun, relaxation, and a well-deserved rest. But for teachers and school librarians, it’s also a crucial period to combat “summer slide” – the loss of learning that can occur when students aren’t reading regularly. Our online book fairs offer the perfect solution to help prevent literacy loss and keep kids engaged with reading throughout the summer months.
Hosting a Follett Book eFair just before summer break provides a fantastic opportunity to stock up on books that not only entertain but also educate. From captivating fiction to STEM-focused nonfiction, there’s something for every interest and reading level. And with the convenience of shopping from anywhere, parents and caregivers can easily order books that will keep their children reading, even when school is out of session.
Why Our Online Book Fairs Are Your Ultimate Advantage Against the Summer Slide:
