      Tips

      1: Read, research, and talk to trusted adults about water.

      If you are not sure where to start, some important ideas to learn about water are: 

      • Why is water important? 
      • How do we use water?
      • What is the water cycle, and how does it work?
      • Where does our water come from? 
      • How do we protect our water? 
      • How do we save water for the future? ​
      • ...and more!

      You can find books about water for free at your local Phoenix library branch. ​You can even sign up for the Phoenix Library's Summer Reading Program here. Learn more about how to earn the Summer Reading Program's Youth Save Water Pledge Badges soon!

      2: When learning more about water, take notes to remember what you learn. 

      When learnin​g something new, it can help to keep track of your ideas, questions, and unfamiliar words. 

      ​​While you read, research, or talk to a trusted adult, you can keep track of any important ideas, new words you learn, and questions you have. Ask a trusted adult about your questions and unknown words, or look them up later with parent permission. ​

      ​Come back soon for more ways to learn more about water throughout the year. ​​
