Creating Your Own Family Summer Reading Program
“Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” Charles Spurgeon
I’ve done a Summer Reading Program for our family for a few years and I get questions about what we do and how it works. With some different tweaks and experimentation, I have found the way I like to do it best.
I also do some adjustments for ages and reading ability.
Looking back through my files, I tried to see how many pages kids usually read each summer. A couple years ago my son read 2,500 pages. My daughter was around 1,800 pages. They are elementary age and that was reading 15-20 chapter books. Reading is a BIG part of our family culture.
We are huge fans of making a Family Summer Reading Program! Below is how I do it.
