Florida First Lady to Visit Citrus Grove Elementary School
Tallahassee, Fla., October 13, 2014 – Tomorrow, Florida First Lady Ann Scott will visit Citrus Grove Elementary School in Palm City. The school was one of the top five winners of the 2014 First Lady’s Summer Literacy Adventure with 2,869 books read during the summer.
The First Lady’s Summer Literacy Adventure challenged students to read as many books as possible during the summer break. First Lady Scott visited state parks and encouraged children to keep reading while they enjoyed the natural beauty of Florida’s state parks.
Research shows that children who do not continue reading through the summer can lose a month or more of progress made during the school year. By encouraging their children to read, parents play an important role in ensuring every child reads at or above grade level.
