Reading every day over the summer, even as little as 15 minutes a day, can help prevent a decrease in reading ability of up to 6 months! To help keep you ahead of the curve, we have created a curated list of recommended titles for you to enjoy. Select the titles which seem most interesting and try to work through as many as possible over the summer.
Additionally, check with your local public library for exciting summer reading programs, where you could earn prizes and rewards for reading! See below for more details.
