STRIDE SUMMER LEARNING Stride is something we are all familiar with since we use it here, but ALL students can now create their own account: Children, parents, and educators can also pledge to read using the “Find a Book, Alabama” tool starting May 1st. We encourage all students to pledge to read. The Summer Learning Challenge also includes a FREE email-based math skills program for children who have just completed Grades 2-5. Parents
and other summer care-givers can begin registering for the program today. Starting Monday, June 23, parents will begin receiving daily e-mails with fun activities and resources to help their children retain math skills acquired during the previous school year. After the program ends on Friday, August 1st, parents will be able to print an award certificate to celebrate their child's summer accomplishment!
This summer Stride Academy is FREE to all students in the state from May 1 to August 8. Prevent “Summer Slide” with a cool blend of online math, reading, and science skills practice; spectacular video games; and peer competitions to pass the lazy summer days. Students may access the Stride Academy learning platform online anytime, 24-7, on tablets, PCs, and Macs. Register and login at www.AlabamaSummerStride.com.
