Resources for Summer

Below are some resources to continue your child's reading over the summer: 

A few Sources for Reading Inspiration:

Biblionasium

Ever used Good Reads to log the books you’ve read? Biblionasium is a kids version! Here is the link! https://www.biblionasium.com/    Kids can log the books you read to them and even write reviews for other kids to read! It’s so much fun to watch the list of books you have read (been read to) pile up. Be sure to keep daily story time as part of your routine. This is a crucial part of their development as readers!! 

Summer Reading Book Challenge- Use Your Library Part I

On top of that!! Did you know your local library has a Summer Reading Book Challenge? All of the local counties and cities participate! Take your kids to the library and sign them up! For Pre-readers, all of the books you read aloud to them count as well as books they read themselves. Enter contests, get prizes, and leave the summer with a free book of your choice.
