Summer Reading

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

School may be out, but summer reading is IN! I have an ever-growing to-read list that I keep quite haphazardly in many different places – online, on my computer, on post-it notes, and in margins of notebooks – anywhere I can write down the title of a book that I want to remember to read. Summer is the perfect time to chip away at that list, whether it’s a day at the beach, a rainy day stuck inside, a long car trip or a late night in bed. School and library summer reading programs are a great way for kids to track what books they read and how they felt about them. I know I still feel accomplished when I am able to check something off my to-read list!

These Eric Carle Reading Records are a great place to record what books you and your children read this summer, including a spot for the title, author, and the date you finished the book. For extra incentive, these Eric Carle stickers sheets are all about $1 and are a fun reward. Of course, nothing is more rewarding than looking at a long list of finished books at the end of the summer!

Happy summer reading! Tell us, what are you and your kids reading the summer?
