Our Kids Summer Reading Bundle

Thanks for Sharing!

It is amazing how children learn so much from books. In fact, it is often said that young children learn most between ages 0-5 years old. Reading is not only fun, but it is also very informative and is a critical factor in language development.  See this site here for more info. I am hoping that with all the electronic books and gadgets that are prominent today, that good old books will still stand the test of time.

Our children love books read to them (18 months old and 3 years old). In fact, I have not yet met a parent who has not introduced their children to books from the time they were babies. Often, our children will go to the basket where I keep some of their books and pick out some to read. Sometimes, I can even hear the 3 year old trying to read to herself or to one of her dolls or stuffed animals. It is just too cute!

In order to foster our children’s good reading habits and to keep them from being bored with the books we have, we often go the library and borrow new ones (so thankful for libraries). These are a new set we borrowed a couple days ago after returning some to the library. We picked out 23 but the library allows us to borrow up to 80 books at a time. Our children are also enrolled in the library’s summer reading program where they earn prices for reading certain kinds of books.

These are the books we are going to use for our Ocean Theme Week during the summer. We will learn about the ocean and do related crafts and activities at home.

I hope you are finding time to read to your young children. Most times, we read at least 3 to 4 times daily, early morning, noon, at evening, and night or just whenever we feel like reading a good book.

What have your children been reading this summer? Having you been utilizing your local library? I would love to hear from you in the comments section!

“She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness” (Proverbs 31:27,  KJV).

    Looks like some good stuff! That was always my favorite part of the summer – the reading list and the trip to the library to get all the books! Plus the extra reading time summer brings! Oh, those were the days! LOL

    Reading is knowledge! I took my children to the library when they were little as well. I think the summer reading program at libraries is fabulous! I love that you selected books with a common theme like the ocean. What a great way to teach your children!

    This looks like a great reading list. I used to love summertime reading as a kid. I wish I had more time for it now 🙂

    Reading is such a great activity. We too started very early to teach our kids to love books, and it was so worth it.

    Reading was always my favorite subject in elementary school! My mom taught me to love books and I tried to instill the love of reading into my kids and most of them love it almost as much as I do. My grands love reading and enjoy taking frequent trips to our local library.

    I love themed weeks for kids’ reading. You are inspiring me to be more organized with my own kids. They love to be read to, and I really should do more of it.

    Reading was always huge at our house, along with year-round trips to the library and summer reading program enrollment. We were lucky to have a fantastic library that boasted an amazing children’s library. Enjoy! 🙂

    That’s great you read to your kids 3-4 times a day! You will definitely instill a love of reading in them. I used to read books to my kids a lot too and they love to read today (at 12 and 20). We have books everywhere in my house :).

    However, these maneuvers aren’t always possible and you know that you need protection every
    single second to prevent information you are working on from
    a potential leak. Many states will require you to be
    a certified dialysis technician in order to be
    considered competent in this field. Others involve small lines hooked
    up to your hose and running to your gardens or hanging plants.
