There's not much better than stretching out in a hammock or curling up on a lawn chair on a hot, sunny day with a glass of lemonade and a book. Summer vacation is the perfect time to encourage kids to explore new stories and have fun while reading. Not only will kids who spend time reading during the summer go back to school in the fall with their reading skills improved, but they will form lifelong memories and make powerful connections with books.
Since summer is right around the corner, we created a summer reading bingo board to encourage kids to read a wide variety of books—and have fun doing it. Activities include:
- Read for 15 minutes in your backyard,
- Read a book with an animal on the cover,
- Read a book from the library,
- and more!
All activities can be adapted to the reading level of the child. Happy reading!
