Thank you public library summer reading program- my children see their reading record card as a challenge to do ALL the reading until every box is checked. Whole summer? Never, they’ll be finished in a week flat.
One blissful week of near silence in my house. You, summer reading program, are the best!
The genius that added “reading to someone else” as a means to earn extra checks on the chart, I could kiss. So often my younger kids, who can’t yet read alone get discouraged after a day of summer reading when big siblings have a million boxes checked and the littles only have a few. As much as I love the big kids buried in a book with this summer reading challenge, the little ones on my heels all day saying “Can you read, can you read?” makes me feel like a bad Mom. I can only read aloud so many hours in a day! This year, the big kids are begging littles to come listen to a story for those extra check marks, and I’m off the hook!
I love the library in the summer, it’s cool, it’s quiet, and it’s free! You better believe my kids are signed up for every available activity, show and club for the next 10 weeks!
