If you’re looking for summer reading lists  to help find appropriately-aged books for your child, this is the place for you! Reading isn’t an activity that needs to end once the school year does…reading should happen all summer long! 


 

Being able to continue on with reading and learning during the summer months is super important. Not only does it help your little one to continue to expand their mind and their vocabulary, but it also keeps their mind focused to be ready for school when it starts back up again. 

Even if you’re homeschooling and taking a small break, it’s important to keep up with the reading! Books are such an important aspect of learning and retaining information. 

And if you like this summer reading log, don’t forget to get some of these Free Printable Bookmarks so they can know what page they’re on.

See how simple this summer reading log is?! All your child needs to do is write down the date, book/author and pages read. And if they fill up this log completely, they can just get another one and keep on going! Make certain that you print one off for each child in your home so that they can take part in your very own home summer reading program.
