Summer is a great time to relax—but it’s also important to keep kids reading so they’re ready for school in the fall. Here are a few simple ways to support reading at home:
-
Set a daily reading time. Even 15 minutes a day makes a difference.
-
Let kids pick what they read. Books, comics, magazines—it all counts. Remember the Nevis Public School Library has summer hours (M&W 9:30-11:30).
-
Read together. Take turns reading or talk about what they're reading.
-
Use audio books. They’re great for road trips or quiet time.
-
Ask questions. Talk about the story to build understanding.
Keeping up with reading doesn’t need to be complicated. A little each day goes a long way.
Enjoy your summer,
