Reading over summer is a great way to pass the time but it also holds great benefits. For one, summer reading helps children retain their reading levels so they are starting the new school year on the right foot. It’s important to encourage reading in fun ways, like joining a summer reading program at your local library.
From the American Library Association
The benefits to readers in a summer reading program include:
- encouragement that reading become a lifelong habit
- reluctant readers can be drawn in by the activities
- reading over the summer helps children keep their skills up
- the program can generate interest in the library and books
