096: 11 Tips for Summer Reading Success
Summer reading is such a touchy topic. It’s hard to get buy-in for all parties [parents and students] and consistency in a busy summer.
If you know me, you know I’m a quota and timer hater when it comes to reading. Anything that can create resentment or cause students to find reading to be a chore or dislike reading is a No-Go in my book.
Today, I have ideas to help you and your students not only read this summer but love it too.

As teachers, we often struggle with what to do about getting our students to actually read during the summer.
Sending home work packets, requiring reading logs, and most other traditional methods simply don't work. The only way to ensure your students will read over the summer is if our students have acquired a love of reading during the school year. I hope your students have made the leap from knowing how to read to being committed readers. But if they haven't made that firm commitment yet, in this episode, I have a few ideas to make reading more likely to happen in a family's busy summer plans.
Listen in to the full episode to find out:
- Tips for making reading simple on the go.
- Why you need a variety of summer reading activities and ideas for students and families.
- How to go beyond the local library's summer reading program to motivate students to read this summer.
- And all kinds of resources for you and your families!
