When I was a child I could spend hours upon hours reading. I consumed novels in the summer as if they were food and they kind of were. In summer as a child I had all the time in the world just to read. In school, I loved a good reading challenge too.

Summer Slump
This summer, when the kids are home you can encourage their love of reading with this cute little 1,000 Minute Reading Challenge. Don’t let summer slide or summer slump claim too many of the kid’s brain cells this year or any year.
What are You Reading?
What kinds of books are your kids interested in? Do they love reading as much as I do, as much as you do?
During the pandemic I have been reading more than ever. I suspect many people have rediscovered a passion for novels. In fact, I kind of have my own reading challenge going on. One week last month I decided my books were a little bit stale, so I drove around town to the Little Free Library locations. While we might not be able to travel out of town, we can definitely travel through literature. Kids can do the same.
Adult Reading Journals
When I was in my twenties I kept lengthy reading journals. This one works too. CUTE Reading Journal for Book Lovers.
I still have several of them. BOY, could I ever read pre-children, anyways.

Don’t Forget the Paper
Printer paper helps. Yes, it is pretty expensive these days. This Amazon Basics paper is pretty good. Scotch PRO Thermal Laminator is excellent. Highly recommend. And bonus it doesn’t take up much space in your family room or your home office. Use it for some of the printables like the word searches and search and find projects and then hand them out with erasable markers. Reuse over and over.
