Engaging Summer Reading Resources for PreK-12
“One benefit of Summer was that each day we had more light to read by.” ― Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle. What's a better feeling than curling up with a book in the shade of a big tree during summer and escaping into another world? Share My Lesson is here to help you engage children on the joys of reading, and we've curated this special collection to not only pique interest but help avoid the much feared "summer slide." From book lists to engaging literacy activities for all ages, abilities and background, these free summer reading activities and resources will help students stay engaged in learning over the long break and reinvigorate a love for reading.
