If you're new here, welcome! Subscribe to my email updates so you don't miss a thing. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve got the updated list of 2019 Summer Reading Programs! Help your kids to avoid the summer “brain drain” and continue learning through reading!

Summer Reading Programs allow kids to get lost in books all summer long, and be rewarded for it!

First, I constantly check Amazon’s Summer reading list for kids to find newly released titles and editor’s top picks.

… and also the Summer reading list for adults too! 

To further help with the summer “brain drain” that can happen during summertime, for several years now I’ve bought each of my kids these Summer Bridge Activities books for their upcoming fall grade level. They each start with concepts your child would have covered in the current year, and then it “bridges” the gap to prepare them for their next grade level. Highly recommend! I’ve linked to a couple on my shopping page.

Book Adventure – Sylvan offers this FREE reading incentive program. Basically your child reads books and then takes a simple comprehension quiz to make sure they understood what they read. The quiz is usually about 10 questions long. They earn points based on how much they remember from reading the book.Book Adventure
