Why Summer Reading Matters

Research consistently shows that kids who continue reading during Summer break are better prepared when school starts again in the Fall. Even a few minutes of reading each day can help children:

• maintain reading skills
• build vocabulary
• strengthen comprehension
• improve focus and creativity
• develop a lifelong love of books

Pairing reading with hands-on, screen-free activities also helps create balance summer routines that support learning and imagination in a fun, low-pressure way.

Don’t Miss Out

The Ebook collection is only free to download this weekend. It’s the perfect time to stock up on Summer reading materials – once you download them, they’ll be available on your devices for as long as you want!

Download the activity guide – so you’re prepared when the first  “I’m bored” is uttered.  You can print all the pages at once, or just print the pages that appeal to you (or your kiddos) when boredom strikes. But, download it as soon as possible, so you’re entered for all of the awesome physical book giveaways taking place this Summer!

Happy Summer Reading!
