Our principal, Mr. Denton, has these tips to share to help families keep in the reading habit through the summer months:

• Find the closest public library and visit it. Can you walk or ride a bike there?
  • King County Library System
  • Sno-Isle Libraries
• Sign up for library cards for each family member who doesn't already have one.
• Search the online catalog and place holds on some books for each family member (moms and dads too!).
• Select a day to visit the library each week and start visiting. Pick up the books you put on hold if they are ready for you.
• Find a spot in your home for library books that are ready to go back to the library.
• Start creating times when the whole family reads together. Children will read more when they see their parents reading regularly.
• Set up a routine for older students to read to younger siblings or neighbors.
• If your child has access to Raz Kids, practice logging in and reading books online.

Many local libraries also offer fun summer reading programs for kids!

For even more ideas and activities, be sure to check out National PTA's "Reading Fun"--  full of fun family reading experiences as well as a great list of resources:

Have a great summer of reading!!!
