All week we will be featuring some of the best summer reading ideas. Our suggestion? Start with brief games right after breakfast.
We kicking off Race into Summer Reading week with sight words, because it’s one of the first areas in reading that suffers from the dreaded “summer brain drain”. By playing games with sight words for a short time each day, you will ensure that your kids will not lose the skills they’ve gained all school year.
