Summer Reading Made Easy

If you're a mom, dad, grandma, granddad, aunt, uncle, big sister, big brother, friend, or tutor, you will most likely find yourself spending time with a child this summer.

Kids ought to be spending some time outside, catching frogs, building a fort, furnishing a fort, playing baseball, or doing something that is pure fun, costs nothing, and requires little adult supervision. But they may be inside on an extremely hot day, thunderstormy day, or just time-to-rest day.

For all you Readers out there

I have a confession to make...I'm a Reader. With a capital "R". And I always have been. For as long as I can remember, I'm the one who picks up that magazine on the back of the toilet, no matter what it is, to browse, even if I only have to pee. If I can't find a magazine, I've been known to read the backs of shampoo bottles to pass the time. As a child, I would read the labels of groceries when I went shopping with my mom, because at least it was something. I am seriously addicted to the written word. I can't help it.
