I don’t know about you, but the thought of entertaining my kids 24/7 through the summer months is daunting. I’m not saying I dread the time with them…because that’s what I LOVE about summer. What terrifies me is they are used to being active, on task, doing SOMEthing all the time. So, I’ve been thinking about ways to get them on task this summer and I have the reading covered. Fun and educational – win/win!!
Before we get in to the details of the fun challenge, I did want to share with you a video I found that I thought was worthy of a share. It’s 5 Parenting Tips for Summer Reading. The title of the video totally has you, like it did me, doesn’t it?!?! 🙂
The Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge that we are going to be doing this summer has my girls very excited. I hope what I’m about to share with you has you filled with ideas for your summer reading fun now too! Let’s dive right in, so much fun to share if you are like us and have lots of readers in your home too!
