Context Clues

If students don’t read over the summer, their reading skills can slip. That makes learning much harder when school starts again in the fall. Sign up to play a texting game where you’ll use your reading skills to crack the code of a mysterious locked box. By playing and sharing the game with friends, you can gain an entry for the scholarship.
