1 Find the letter that your child is currently reading at an independent or just right level for appropriate summer reading recommendations. As the summer break progresses, feel free to have your child try books at the next level to challenge themselves! Remember to have your child keep track of their reading in their summer log. Also, make sure they fill in the yellow bookmark at the end of the summer with their favorite book title. If they bring the bookmark to their teacher at the beginning of next school year, they will be entered in a drawing to win a free book! Most importantly, encourage your child to find the joy in reading as they embark upon the journey to becoming lifelong readers!
