Ideas to keep summer reading exciting:
-Go somewhere new. Take books along on camping trips, or sit under a tree while reading.
-Take a trip through a book. Read about the places you plan to go this summer, before you get there. Or, read about a place you want to go!
-Keep a journal. Write about what you read throughout the summer.
-Start a book club. Find friends or family members that enjoy the same books and plan to meet to discuss the books you read.
-Organize a book swap. Share with family and friends books you have already read.
-Find a fun series. Look for a series of books by an author you enjoy (see below for suggestions).
