This summer, our kindergarten-graduated grandson will join us for a week in June and a week in July, between camps and his other grandparents, to help out our kiddos who both work full-time jobs. My writing may take a backseat during those weeks, but instead, I’ll ramp up my reading time. Kid lit reading, that is.
I loved reading to my children when they were little. At that time, I didn’t ponder the benefits of reading aloud to them—I just knew how much I enjoyed snuggling with a picture book in my hands and littles in my lap.
I hope you’ll use some of the extra, non-school hours of summertime to treat your kids or grandkids to lots and lots of picture books.
