Hello My Friends!

I am sorry I haven't been here for a little while.  I have had a few health issues and I haven't had a chance much to read or to review some books for my followers.  I hope to be back now and blogging at three times a week.  So I hope you are ready for the summer and for the children and grandchildren to be around and what better time to start a Book Club for the kids or enroll them in one at your local library.

I would like to tell you why I think having your children or grandchildren join a book club this summer  is a very good thing.  As a former teacher I know how important it is for children to continue to read during the summer.  According to research from the University of Missouri shows that summer breaks can cause an average student to lose up to one month of learning but by reading 15 minutes a day children and teens can keep up skills and spark their knowledge.  So I definitely believe children need to read in the summer and be read to if they are younger to prepare them for school.  There are great Summer Reading Programs at most libraries and some schools.  If you don't find a good program where you are located then start your own Book Club.  Children love reading for rewards and for the games etc. you can do.  I will try and give you some ideas for a book club on my next post.  In the meantime check out you local library for their summer reading program and get your child or grandchild enrolled today and start their summer adventure.

See you soon with more on book clubs.
