Summer reading for kids
(JK to grade 6) |

 |

|
|
Not sure how to get started? From bookworms to avid video gamers, we’ve got suggestions to help get even the most unenthusiastic of kids ready to read.
Try sprucing up your book by creating a bookmark — make one that’s paper, magnetic or photo-style.
Then take the kids to a bookstore and allow them to pick out one or two new books. If that’s too costly, go on a weekly trip to the library.
Hopefully, the kids will be so excited about their new books and bookmarks that they’ll want to start reading right away.
