Summer Reading Part 2

Here is a site with lists for Summer reading for ages preschool through adults.  The best way to get your kids to read is to read to them and to have them see you read. 

Also get involved with your public library's summer reading program.  My kids always liked to do this and our library had some great prizes that they could earn.    

summer Reading List Part 1

About.com has a great list for summer reading.  You can find it here

As with any book I would encourage parents to either read the books before or read reviews of the books to see if it is a book you would want your child to read.  Just because it is on a reading list doesn't mean your child should read it.  Every family should make these decisions on their own.
