Each week this summer I am going to post some fun family activities, ideas, and links. I hope that you will try some of them and either leave comments here or post about your summer fun on your Kidblog .

This week’s Reading Rockets ideas: Celebrate summer

• Write a list of things you want to do this summer. Don’t forget to include reading! (Post the list on your Kidblog)

• Make a chart to keep track of all the books you read this summer.

• Write down on your calendar the time the sun sets today.

• Start a summer scrapbook. Include souvenirs of any trips you take, photos, ticket stubs, and projectsyou work on during the summer.

• List all the books by your favorite author. See how many you can read this summer.

• Swap books with a friend. Keep sharing books throughout summer.

• Take a walk. Write about or draw the things you see that show summer is here.
