Reading is one of the best ways to keep your mind sharp over the summer! Here are some tips for summer reading:

1. Routine- build in a daily reading routine of 30 minutes. Make it fun by reading outside, at the zoo, with a friend.

2. Book Choice- read what you like and if that means graphic novels all summer, do it!

3. Join a Summer Reading Challenge...see below for some fun ones to try!

4. Family- STOP...DROP...READ! Make reading special by involving your family. Maybe choose some STEM books that will spark fun activities to do together! See STEM/STEAM ideas below.
