How to get kids to read over the summer

by Renee Heiss

All-American Teacher Tools

Summer time is here! Sun, fun, swimming, barbecues, camping, fishing, and .... summer reading lists. What? Your kids don't want to do the required reading? They have better things to do than read a book when the sun is shining and the fish are biting? The latest research shows students who read at least four books over the summer maintain or even increase their vocabulary and reading skills. Here are some ideas to help your children appreciate the value of reading during the summer, even if their incoming teacher did not send them home with a list of books.

Model. If I could offer only one way to encourage kids to read, it would be to read yourself. I have fond memories of sitting in my back yard with my mother as she read her novel and I read my library book.
Create a summer reading club. Invite others in the same grade and reading level to come over once a week to discuss the book they're reading. It doesn't have to be the exact same book! In fact, having all the kids read different books will encourage the others to pick up that book, as well.
Keep a chart. Have your children make a chart of the books they have read. When they have finished a book, they can add a sticker to their chart. They will love seeing the progress they made. I'm not an advocate of competition, but it helps to see if you're beating your sister in the race to the end of the chart!
Read aloud. Your children will get just as much out of a book if you read aloud, even if they are perfectly capable of reading on their own. This will motivate them to continue the story long after you have finished reading them the first chapter.
Make it fun. Each time your child finishes a book, put another star on a dark blue poster board. Have fun making constellations, which will encourage the completion of a number of books. For extra fun, see if you can categorize the books into the constellations - books about bears for ursa major, for example.
Join the library reading incentive program. Most local libraries have incentives for summer reading. Find out what your library does for the children in your area.
New words wall. Make a treasure hunt of new words. When you child comes across a new word, help him or her to define the word, then post it to your word wall (refrigerator door?). Encourage use of the new words throughout the summer.
Encourage variety. Try to get your children to read different genres: Fiction, nonfiction, biography, science, history, mystery, etc. Categorize the books they read so you can see where their interest lies.
Make their own list. Kids love to have control over their own lives. (Don't we all!) So, instead of simply using the school's suggested reading list, intersperse that list with your child's own list of books. Go to the library and get some ideas. Look online for book reviews for children. Or shop at yard sales for great summer reading bargains.
Reward. This is way far down the list because I don't think children should receive monetary or food rewards for a job well done. However, if this is the only way to jumpstart your children's summer reading, then offer a small monthly reward - ice cream treat, $1 on a debit card for each book read, or set of three books for younger readers (to be used at the end of summer), etc. As an alternative, if there is a movie based on the book, tell your kids you'll take them to see the movie when they finish the book! Compare notes after the movie.

Books will open your child's world to a new dimension. Remember to "catch 'em being good." If you find your child reading a book, wait until he puts it down, then give him a pat on the back for reading for the past half hour. Positive reinforcement goes a long way to encouraging a continuation of that positive behavior.

And I would be remiss if I didn't recommend my own books for children and young adults:

PreK-2nd grade: Ducklings in a Row - Will Duck 10 ever get to lead the line?
Grades 3-6: Woody's World - The story of one boy's efforts to help his family during The Great Depression. Based on a true story.
Grades 10-adult: My Peaceful Place: A collection of stories and pictures to comfort and heal
Grades 10 - adult: Be the Master of Your Mental Kingdom - Change your thoughts, change your actions, change your life!
All ages: Chef Cappy's Cookbooks - lots of STEM and healthy recipes to try during the summer.

Happy reading!

FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Zoey and Sassafras Science Journal and Safety Glasses”

by My Happy Place
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade

This freebie includes materials to supplement Dragons and Marshmallows, the first book in the Zoey and Sassafras series by Asia Citro and Marion Lindsay.

This resource contains a printable pair of “Thinking Goggles” like the pair of safety glasses Zoey wears on top of her head. Designed to be printed on cardstock and worn as a headband, these goggles will get young children excited about being scientists!

In addition, this set includes reproducible pages to make science journals for your students. Modeled after the journal Zoey uses in the book, these pages allow children to begin practicing the scientific method. Choose one of two recording pages depending on the level of your students in addition to a page for observational drawing and a front cover.

About the Book

Zoey and Sassafras Dragons and Marshmallows begins a fun series about an inquisitive girl who, along with her cat, explores a fantasy world using the scientific method. In Dragons and Marshmallows, young readers (or listeners!) are introduced to Zoey as she discovers that she has the ability to see and help magical creatures. This book engages children with whimsical characters while teaching scientific elements and vocabulary in a non-threatening way.
