Summer Reading List

It is that time of year again...School is wrapping up, the sun is shining, and kids are anxiously awaiting the days of sleeping in, fun in the sun, vacations, and more.

We all love these days too right!? But we also know the importance of keeping our minds engaged and working. There is no better way to do this than through reading!

Reading can be an engaging activity for you and your clients. Some ways to encourage your child/client to participate is by:

• take turns reading with them

• make predictions based on the pictures alone

• read books in silly voices

• read outside, in a tent, by the pool, on a hike

• create a book club with friends and family

• choose books that are funny and engaging

• keep the books simple- we aren't trying to meet a reading goal!

• read the same book multiple times

• visit the local library and encourage your client/child to pick out their own book

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” - Dr. Seuss
