It’s time to talk summer reading! We discuss how we find books to read over the summer, how to motivate reluctant readers and whether our family uses reading challenges or incentives, and one special tradition that kicks off summer reading in our family every year. And, as always, we talk about what we’re reading and what YOU all are reading.
Kidliterate will be on summer break until August. Talk to you then!
