Go read a book! It's like a summer anthem for parents but the dividends are worth the nagging.
Research continues to prove that summer reading helps kids avoid the brain drain that often occurs during summer break.
Summer reading improves reading skills. Reading fluency is key to academic success in all subjects.
Kids + summer reading = a winning combo.
That said, it's sometimes a tough sell with kids. That's why it's critical to find something that grabs a kid's interest and reflects their individuality.
Tina Ferguson is the owner of Face in a Book bookstore and my co-host on our annual "Summer Beach Reads" show.
In part 2, Tina suggests titles for kids that are rich in inclusivity and imagination. Have a reluctant reader in your home? Tins suggest parents be open to graphic novels, whose popularity has exploded.
"There are things you can do with illustrations along with the vocabulary in the book that really works together to get a beginning reader to really keep going and to really enjoy what they're reading," says Tina.
