Summer Reading Fun!
Summer is for swimming, playing, biking, camp, and just relaxing. However, it is important for children to practice their reading skills and any other educational or academic skills that need strengthening.
It is important that every child gets at least 20 minutes a day of reading, any content they wish. It can be beneficial and also fun for the children to have a certain time every day that they spend reading. It can be done with a parent, sibling, friend, or alone. You, as a parent, can coordinate a certain time of day, 20 to 30 minutes, before bedtime, after the morning routine, or when they get home from day camp, if they attend.
So, libraries, Amazon, and bookstores are great places for all types of books. There are also other online companies that sell both new and used books, where you can find both child and adult books.
To work on other skills, parents or tutors are good options, and only take out an hour to two of your child’s week! But, could be very worthwhile in getting them ready to start the new school year in September with confidence and readiness for what the new year will bring.
