We’ve signed up for the Library’s Summer Reading Program in our area. In fact, we attended a great kick off party over the weekend. I am a believer that reading must continue through the summer to maintain levels in school. So many children are left behind due to not reading over the summer. We’re always looking for a new book to read and thanks to Sylvan Learning, there is a list of suggested reading for every age group!
