Reading is one of the best activities your child, which makes it a great time-filler in the summer months. Research has shown that children that participate in a summer reading program not only avoid the summer slide in learning, but also score higher on reading achievement tests. Summer is also a great time for your child to discover new interests, new authors, and new book series – encouraging them to read even more. We’ve listed a couple of our favorite reading benefits below as well as a few book recommendations for elementary and junior high-aged kids!
