Thinking about ways you can keep your students reading this summer? Here are some great ideas by The Book Whisperer.
My favorite idea from the Book Whisperer is a hold a "Book Swap." What a great idea for the end of the school year where your students go home with an armload of books to read over the summer. I used to create a list of suggested books for my students when I was teaching so parents had an idea of what was an appropriate level of reading when they went to the library or bookstore.
A good idea also might be for parents to buy their child a Kindle and load it up with books for them to read in the car, or when falling asleep, or on a rainy summer day. Harry Potter books will soon be available for Kindle too. You don't even have to buy a Kindle for your child to read digitally- you can use the Kindle app on a laptop so they can take reading with them anywhere without carrying a backpack of books. The idea is to just keep them reading anyway that interests them!
