Summer Reading Lists
Every educator knows it. So do most parents. Summer reading is essential for kids! In fact, reading experts note that most young readers suffer a backslide in reading skills during summer downtime. But that needn't be the case. Families can make reading a priority during the summer months, and children will learn that people never take a vacation from learning. This summer, keep your kids' hands and minds occupied with a great book — or a few. In fact, our suggestions should keep them busy all year long.
