Here are four ways I'm able to get in some more reading time.
Idea Number 1 - We keep books in the car. The children are more likely to read together anytime we have to wait or drive a bit longer than normal. They read out lout to each other and share the pictures.
Idea Number 2 - We always join the library summer reading program. I let the children pick out as many books as they want. We don't keep them until they are due. Instead they'll read through them quickly and we can go get more.
Idea Number 3 - On a super hot day, we put up the tent in the living room. They love to go camping and take a stack of books with them.
Idea Number 4 - Even a rainy day is an opportunity for a good book. A favorite pass-time is to have a picnic on the porch with a stack of picture books.
Let's see what our friends have to say about summer reading.
