Raise a reader and you’ve raised a lifelong learner.
- Get your child a library card at your local public library. It’s free!
- Sign your child up for this year’s summer reading program. Kids will enjoy free programs with fun activities, storytelling, reading contests, crafts and more.
- Read to your children every day. Take advantage of “waiting” time to share books: on trips, at the doctor’s office, in line at the grocery store.
- Set a good example: read on your own and talk to your kids about what you’re reading.
- Have books everywhere – in the car, in front of the TV, in the kitchen, on the porch.
- Keep a list on the refrigerator of the books everyone has read during the summer.
