Many studies have shown that students lose some of their skills they learned during the school year over summer break. But instead of letting those skills get rusty, get your child reading through one of the various programs going on in the community and nationwide.
The Meridian Library District's
summer reading program begins Monday, June 1. But the official kickoff will be Friday, June 5, at Settlers Park, where you can join the Bookmobile for the first CableOne Movie Night of the summer, which will be Tangled. There will be a bounce house, face painting, and more! You can sign up for the library's summer reading program, which is done in partnership with the West Ada School District, online or on paper, and then earn prizes all summer long for reading.
Barnes & Noble has a
summer reading program that is already under way. Read eight books this summer and record them in a reading journal, and you can choose a free book from the list at the store.
In addition, the National PTA and Kindle are sponsoring a Family Reading Challenge for the month of July. The challenge will encourage families to read together, be inspired, and share their experiences. You can sign up for notifications and see more information at
