  1. My little one loves to read, so we do that every day no matter what, usually before bed. My daughter reads books on her Kindle, usually on car rides, but if it’s good enough, she’ll keep reading in the house.

  2. My son went off to sleep away camp with 2 books to read for middle school. He better have read them!
    thanks for the reminder!

  3. Love that Scholastic encourages kids to read throughout the summer. Their Summer Reading Program Under the Stars is so much fun!

  4. What a fun gathering. My daughter could also ready a crazy thick book about things like bugs 😛 BTW, she loved Fly Guy when she was young.

  5. What a fun time – great way to get kids interested in reading! We are kind of boring – weekly trips to the library for a new book each week.

  6. Looks like a lot of fun.My kids read most nights to me rather than me read to them,We have so many books to keep them busy.

  7. I think it’s so important to get kids reading over the summer. We have required summer reading from school, so we have to get that done first.

  8. It looks like the kids had a blast! I have a really hard time getting my daughter to read during the summer, I need to make it more fun!

  9. What a great program. I love to encourage reading when it comes to my kids. Especially during summer.

  10. Love that Scholastic encourages kids to read throughout the summer. It’s so important to get kids reading all year long.

  11. My toddler has decided he does not need me to read to him at night. After I finish reading books, he reads one of his board books by himself. It encourages the reading habit, and it’s fun to hear him recite the story. 🙂

  12. Your REading Under the Stars turned out great! I am so lucky to have a house full of boys who enjoy reading. I hope they always have that love.

  13. I totally fell off the reading wagon this summer….unless it was books at bedtime. We read three every night!

  14. Summer reading programs are great. It’s important to be sure the kids don’t let their brains go on vacation for the entire summer. Those thinking caps have to be in tip top shape for the school year.

  15. I loved Scholastic when I was kid! Reading in summer time is a must! Me and my son read together every night!

  16. I knew that it was important to keep kids reading and learning during the summer, but I had no clue that it was THIS important. I can’t believe Summer Slide affects the learning gap so much.

  17. As a teacher I can attest to the summer slide…children come back to school in September unsure of a lot. They don’t remember quite a bit of the previous year. And so, the first month or so is dedicated to recapping what was lost during summer. Some kids catch back on quickly, others fall even further behind. It is especially crucial for the weaker children to get some work in. I love that this program encourages reading everyday. It is so important.

  18. Your reading under the stars event looks like so much fun! We’ve been doing lots of reading this summer.

  19. We started out the summer not reading very much. But got to reading more recently. I love summer reading programs.

  20. I love that Scholastic has this fun summer reading program! I know our library does something similar to this.

  21. My kids signed up with your libraries summer reading program. They get a prize at each book level they reach, so that keeps them motivated to keep reading all summer long.

  22. My son just finished a summer reading program. I’m so happy that both of my kids love to read. It’s really their favorite thing to do.

  23. I would love this kind of things when my children were smaller as teens and young adults both love reading but it was a daily fight to teach them to love books

  24. We read every day! My children have grown up loving books. Right now they are all about the Berenstain Bears books.

  25. We are readers here, and have read to our son since birth. At four years old, he loves “storytime” with Mommy and Daddy, and I hope this love continues as he learns to read on his own!

  26. I used to look forward to getting the Scholastic book order form at school. I would read every single book blurb and circle the ones I wanted. Then, I would go home and beg my mom for all of them. We had a few parties too.

  27. I couldn’t stop my daughter from bringing me books if I tried! It really is a great issue to have!

  28. Thankfully my girls love to read. I hope I helped that by reading to them as much as I could from day 1.

  29. I pretty much force my kids to read in summer. They’d rather play Minecraft, but I’m making sure they’re reading too.

  30. Looks like a fun time! We visit the Public Library a lot over the Summer. They do fun events to keep the kids reading.

  31. You guys look like you had a blast, especially around the campfire! I haven’t had any trouble getting my daughter to read this summer, she has been stuck on reading anything written by John Green!

  32. My kids really love to read and I hope they always love reading. Reading under the starts sounds awesome! I’m sure the kids had a blast!

  33. We have a reading program here at the local library. My 5 year old loves it, and I hope she’ll continue to love reading.

  34. I loved doing reading challenges when I was a kid. This challenge sounds like a GREAT idea.

  35. I didn’t know that Scholastic had a reading program for the summer. We buy from them all year long though.

  36. I loved reading challenges too- always a competitor! I like that this makes reading social too.
