Here Are a Few Ways to Incorporate Reading In Your Childs Life This Summer

1. Take a trip to your local library

2. Bring a book with you to the park or the beach

3. Read a chapter in the morning, when your child is used to learning and before other plans cause a  distraction 

Like many of the events you see posted on this site, I stumbled upon this treasure of free classes.  My goal is to connect parents to valuable free and low-cost educational resources and bridge the learning gap.  So I pass the baton to parents to prevent the "Summer Slide."
