Summer Reading

Are you reading books this summer?  If not, you should be!  Reading is the key to your success in school. Children who read for fun outside of the school day are better students when they are in school.

Are you going on a long trip?  Take a book to read in the car.

Hanging out by the pool or on the beach?  Take a rest and read a chapter or two.

Is it a super hot day or a summer rainy day?  Spend it curled up with a good book.

Did Mom or Dad put you in charge of the little brothers and sisters? Take a few minutes and read a picture book to them.

Need some motivation to read?  I've got the answer to that question too!  What about a FREE BOOK?!?

Click here to go to Barnes and Noble bookstore's website. In the green box in the middle of the page, you will see a yellow 1. Underneath that, you will see a link to print off a reading journal. When you've read 8 books, you can take the completed journal to the book store and get a free book. You are limited to the the titles they have chosen for your grade level.

Click here to go to Borders bookstore's website. You will see a skinny yellow box where you can download their summer reading form. Borders requires 10 books to be read.  Borders lets you get any book for free.

Also stop by any of the public libraries here in our town. Any child who completes the summer reading program through the library gets a gift bag full of goodies from local companies.  I couldn't find their reading log online, so you may have to go by the library to get one. 

Let me know what books you are reading this summer. Perhaps that will make a good read-out-loud for us this coming school year!
