If your child is in elementary school then chances are they were given suggestions for Summer reading from their school. My son and daughter were each provided with a long list of age appropriate book titles broken down by category, i.e. Adventure, Science Fiction, Biographies etc.. My kids are not the world’s most enthusiastic readers so I found it really helpful that they could take some control and read through the brief descriptions to decide for themselves what 5 or 6 books to read.
Sit down with your kids, or better yet, let them sit down at the computer, and take a look at these age appropriate book titles complete with brief summaries from www.FamilyEducation.com. Allowing your child to map out her own reading plan might just make all the difference this Summer!
