Catch the Reading Wave this summer!
GISD Summer Reading - Catch the Reading Wave 2026 🌊
This summer, we invite all students to keep their reading skills strong and their imaginations soaring by participating in our Summer Reading Program!
Using Beanstack, our online reading tracker, students can log their reading minutes anytime, anywhere—from books at home to eBooks on SORA, MackinVIA, Destiny Discover, TumbleBooks, and NatGeo Kids. As they read, they’ll earn badges, complete fun challenges, and discover new stories all summer long.
Find all the fun and activities here in the Garland ISD Summer Reading Site!
Reading during the summer helps prevent the “summer slide” and keeps students engaged with learning in a fun and meaningful way. Make it even more special by reading together as a family!
Because in Garland ISD, we are Catching the Reading Wave! 🌊
📚✨ Let’s make this summer a celebration of reading!
