For some students, the academic school year may be over. For some
parents, it can provide a battle between summer camp and outdoor sports.
But if parents provide exciting materials to read over the summer
break, children are more likely to be engaged in learning. As a matter
of fact, reading over the summer improves the learned material, prepares
children for the upcoming school year and enhances their language
skills.
To motivate children to read during the summer, ten books are reviewed according to age group, reading level and moral value. As young as 2 years of age, children can start to develop literacy skills in recognizing vowels and identifying letters. The reading level of all of these books is level 1 or easy-to-read level. The moral message that children learn from the stories is also considered in each review. Many of these books are also available in English and Spanish formats.
