We are taking part of our library's summer reading program this year and my kids are just gobbling up books! I love that we have a local incentive to spark their love. The main thing is they are getting into a life-long habit of summer reading and learning to LOVE it to. I remember my lazy days of summer when I was growing up and all I did was sit outside in the sun and read. It was almost as if reading was my best friend those summers. I traveled the world and learned so many things through those books.
As you know reading starts young. We make sure to shuffle our books in our book bin for my youngest two so that they are exposed to many great books. Abrams generously sent us a whole box of new board books that we've been having a blast reading this month.
This group of books is really a treasure. From bright colors to far off places like Paris and learning about opposites - we loved them all!
