Planning a family getaway this summer? Whether you're road-tripping across the country, jetting off on a plane, or just enjoying long afternoons by the pool, we've got a way to make your child or teen’s vacation even better—with a personalized bundle of books and media chosen just for them!
Why Keep Reading Over the Summer?
Summer is a time for fun, exploration, and recharging—but it’s also the perfect opportunity to help kids stay engaged and avoid the “summer slide.” Studies show that when kids take a break from regular reading, they can lose critical literacy skills over the summer months. Even just 20 minutes a day can help them retain what they’ve learned, build confidence, and return to school ready to succeed.
Reading over the summer also:
- Encourages imagination and creativity
- Strengthens vocabulary and comprehension
- Fosters a lifelong love of books
- Provides a screen-free option for travel and downtime
