Great Summer Reads for Kids
by Marina Reis

One of my favourite things about summer vacation when I was a kid was all of the extra time that I would have for reading. Before part-time jobs and adult responsibilities, summertime was for reading on the front stoop at dusk, on a dock with your feet in the lake, or late into the night during a thunderstorm. When I was a kid, nothing could separate me from my book! Word Alive Press would love to bring this reading magic to kids this summer! We have compiled a list of some great Word Alive Press summer reads for kids--wherever they decided to take them!
