Summer Reading

I firmly believe, once a child can read, the world is at their fingertips!
Reading is the most powerful educational tool you can give your child.
If your child can read, he/she has the ability to
learn
create
build
do
travel the world
Not only on the pages of the book, but in real life. I realize the ability to read won't get your child a plane ticket to Australia, however, it will give him/her the next best thing, the ability to learn all about it. Reading can physically give your child the skills to: build a catapult, build a fort, sew, create beads, knit... the list is endless.
My boys have built things, created things, & fixed things, I had no clue they were capable of. The ability to read & follow directions is what helped them accomplish those things.

Don't let your child stop reading this summer!

Barnes and Noble has a summer reading program.
Check it out.
Use their program, or use it to create your own.

• Make reading fun by gathering books that interest your child.
• Go to the library and allow him/her to pick several books to read.
• Set a reading time each day or 4-5 days a week.
• Read together as a family.
• Pack a picnic & a book. Read to your children as they eat.

Keep your kids Reading this summer!
