Straighten up and FLY RIGHT!

And for our Berwyn kids, that means READ THIS SUMMER!

I bought this product for a few kids in my life. It is a summer reading journal that will help keep them reading (and writing) this summer. The journal will encourage active reading with several pages of engaging activities and questions for each book. Available at Fly Right Gifts in Berwyn for about $12 (much less expensive than that video game!).

Another extremely motivating way to keep kids reading is the Summer Reading Program at the Berwyn Public Library. I signed my kids up yesterday and they are already working toward their goals. It is pretty amazing how the simple act of keeping a reading log will motivate kids to read. Kids are naturally competitive and the Summer Reading Program at the library is one way to turn the competitiveness inward by setting a personal goal and offering prizes for points earned. Sign up TODAY!

Lastly, be a role model. Make sure your kids see you reading EVERY day!
