Summer Activities: Reading

As my oldest son left school this year, his teacher reminded him to read for at least 15 minutes a day this summer. While this is certainly a daunting challenge, there are ways reading can be included in fun summer ideas for kids.

The first week of vacation was devoted to rest and relaxation. But now, it's time to get back into the swing of things and begin our summer reading adventure. Besides our weekly trips to the library, we are spending our 15 minutes a day reading from our favorite Children's Bible. Summer should be a time of fun, but it can also be a time of learning as well. If you're anything like me, you want your children to read the stories of the Bible in order so they can see how the lessons build upon each other. But since it's summer, let your children pick the story they want to read. Take turns reading. You read one story and let your children read the next. My 4-year-old knows a few site words, so whenever we come to one of those, I let him read it. The look of joy on his face when he gets to "read" with the family is priceless! Spend some time this summer reading with your children. Check out our Bookstore for great children's Bibles and Christian children's books. Reading should be a fun and relaxing time for kids. Do you need help making your Bible lessons with your children more fun and creative? Do you need a weekly reminder to share a new lesson series with your children?
