Prince William Country Schools Summer Reading Program:
The
purpose
of
the
PWCS

Program
is
to
encourage
students
to
enjoy
quality
literature
and
to
continue
developing
their
independent
reading
skills.
Students:
- Build their vocabulary
- Develop their reading skills
- Enjoy new stories

Learn
new
information
Student
participation
in
the
challenge
is
voluntary.
Students
who
choose
to
participate
will
read
books
they
self-select.
Summer
is
a
great
time
for
students
to
read
for
pleasure
and
dive
deep
into
their
favorite
genre
or
experience
something
new.
Providing
students
with
choice
in
what
they
read
increases
their
reading
motivation
and
engagement.
