In my June 25 post I encouraged everyone to
join one of our summer reading programs.
There are actually programs for everyone 0 – 100 years old ... and older!
Registering your child in a summer reading
program is just one way that you can help them avoid the ”summer slide” where a
child can actually lose reading skills if those skills are not exercised over the summer
months.
There are other fun ways to keep them
reading. I’m planning to post some of my
ideas on this topic in the coming weeks.
I am hoping you find some of the tips useful and fun!
Traveling this summer? Check out a few books first. We have books on Michigan and all the other states,
other countries, wildlife, fishing, camping, bugs, outdoor sports, and much
more. This can make your trip more
meaningful. It may spark some latent interests! Make it a family adventure and learn
together.
Not traveling this summer? Check out a few books and do some armchair
travelling with your child! You can go
anywhere your imagination takes you!
Ancient Egypt, modern day China, France, Hawaii, Mars ... You can even pick the weather! This can be great fun. Draw pictures of where you have traveled and
write letters home to tell everyone about your activities and what a great time
you are having! Maybe you can even build a
vehicle together for your travels. Just imagine…..
