Summer is here AND learning never stops.

Happy last day of school! Summertime is here AND reading doesn't stop! Reading can be incorporated into many summer activities. Whether you are headed out on vacation or staying at home, here are some fun ways to keep reading with your children: 1) Pack books on vacation. 2) Plan activities or outings around a book you are reading with your child. 3) Create a summer reading spot. Check out more ideas and see if you can complete Booker’s Bingo!
