Many of the books on our recommended reading list (above) are also available in audio format.  Audio books are a great way to share the experience while driving to the beach or wherever your adventures may take you this summer.  We have also compiled the following list of podcast recommendations!  Research has shown that listening to audio books and podcasts increases listener’s comprehension and allows students’ to absorb material that is up to three grade levels higher than their reading comprehension.

Questions to be considered before selecting an online course:

1.  Dates - are there strict daily/weekly/course deadlines or is it very flexible?
2.  Times - do I need to sign on every day at a certain time?
