If you are thinking of what habits to teach your kids, then one of the best and most educational things you can show them is reading. During summer, without the school activities and homework that your kids have to be involved in, it gives them plenty of time to read. Summer reading is a wonderful activity that is not just ideal for kids but for adults too.
Summer Activities for Kids
You may actually consider joining local library summer reading clubs. For struggling readers or new ones, go with wordless books. You can also try out magazines or comics for your kids.
Allotting at least few minutes of time per day in reading can help kids to develop such habit.
Also, podcasts and audiobooks are perfect not just for when you are having car trips. Listening to audiobooks are promoting interests in literature while also keeping children occupied for hours. Besides, it is a lot easier than reading books.
Reading Books from Your Devices
These days, downloading books to computer, tablet or smartphone is pretty simple. Of course, you can still do it via burning books on CDs or borrowing books from the library.
Writing journal for at least 15 minutes a day can give children head start on what happened on their day and realize things.
