Teach Reading
On NPR’s Summer Reading website, Washington Post reporter John Kelly has put together a guide to choosing summer reading for young people. While he says it’s important for kids to read through the summer months — lessening the “summer learning loss” and getting them ready for the next school year — he advises keeping it fun and interesting. While adults are encouraged to downshift their reading habits to the light or possibly scandalous, he writes, “our kids are on a forced march through books in which a dog dies and a child learns a painful lesson, or a parent dies and a child learns a painful lesson, or a child dies and ANOTHER child learns a painful lesson.” The article also includes lists of less painful reads for Grade 1 through middle school readers.
