This Summer's Lesson: Learning Is Fun
Los Angeles Times
About 200 Los Angeles students are getting an intensive lesson in reading and loving books during a six-week summer literacy program rooted in the civil rights movement. The free program seeks to engage students socially and culturally with a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, conflict resolution, social action, healthful eating, creativity in the arts and physical and mental health. Parental participation is required, and many assist in the classroom, provide snacks and chaperone field trips.
