The Importance of Reading During the Summer

Summer is almost upon us and parents and teachers know that this is the time for the dreaded ‘summer slide’ to start … When summer begins, the day to day normal schedule changes and little ones minds are no longer as active as they have been during the school year.

We know how important reading is and have created a fun way for parents to stay connected with their child over the summer. Our latest FREE downloads for a book review  My Book Review (USA) or My Book Review (UK) is now available under our FREE STUFF tab on our website. This review will help children to think about the book they have read in greater detail and create discussion about it.  Once completed My Book Review makes a wonderful keepsake. The use of a reward chart can often help with children during the summer and provides a visual tool for children to keep track of their own successes.

We hope that this helps to make reading fun with your child.
