Summer Reading Suggestions

Summer reading activities to do with your young learner:


  • Visit the local library together to choose a variety of books that pique their interest. Encourage them to explore different genres, from fantasy to science fiction, and even non-fiction topics like animals or space. Create a cozy reading nook at home with comfy pillows and good lighting where they can dive into their new books.
  • Organize a family book club where each member reads the same book and then comes together to discuss their favorite parts, characters, and plot twists. This not only enhances their comprehension skills but also makes reading a shared experience.
  • Incorporate creative activities like drawing scenes from the book, acting out favorite chapters, or writing an alternative ending. These activities can help deepen their engagement and understanding of the story.
  • Set up a summer reading challenge with a fun reward system. For every book they finish, they could earn a sticker or a small prize. This can motivate them to keep reading and help them set personal goals.
  • Lastly, take advantage of outdoor reading opportunities. Pack a picnic and head to the park, beach, or even your backyard. Reading outside in a new environment can make the experience feel like an adventure.
  • By integrating these activities, you can foster a love of reading in your young learner that will last a lifetime.
