As you may know, when kids get a break from school for the summer, they often come back in the fall with a decline in reading and academic skills. The good news is that the so-called "summer slide" can be avoided if kids read as few as four books over the summer.
Open Road Media has created a campaign to help educators and parents fight the summer slide with recommended reading, excerpts of books found on summer reading lists, and videos from authors who create books that are geared toward reluctant readers. We've culled recommended reads for kids of all ages—from those on the "see-saw" (kids who are pre-reading) to those who are "mastering the monkey bars" (reluctant readers) to "high-flyers on the swings" (books for middle-schoolers and teens).
Want to win a FREE ebook from Open Road Media? Leave me a comment in this blog spot about which book you'd like to receive (contact info as well, please). I will do a random draw on Sunday July 29th for one lucky winner.
Good Luck!
