Now that we’ve decided to make it a summer of reading adventures, here are a few tips to finding books that fit their interest and reading levels. Sound hard? Trust me it isn’t… all you need are your eyes, ears and a little parental discernment.
Reading can be a grand adventure, even for our most resistant kids, and summer is the perfect time to make a change. With a little planning, you can turn reading from a chore into a creative way to play all through the summer.

If you have a visual learner, a reading program may be the last thing you want to think about this summer. Never fear – your local library knows how to make reading fun for your child, so it’s easy on you. Our local library, like so many others around the country, has a variety of special reading events throughout the summer to keep kids reading.
