6 Summer Books for Kids

How do you keep your kids reading momentum going when school's out?

Experts say that the key is to get your school-age child to pick up books on her own -- ideally three or more times a week. Look for stories that spark her interest or speak to some of her recent experiences, such as starting day camp or becoming a big sister. Of the many children's books available, titles that contain basic sight words, repetition, and some challenging new vocabulary will help her continue to develop her language and comprehension skills. To jump-start your child's summer reading, we've rounded up teachers' top recommendations. Depending on her reading level, she may be able to finish these on her own or want you to read them to her. Either way, these picks will have her smiling and turning the page in no time.
