Don't Take a Vacation from Reading This Summer

June 21, 2022

Don't Take a Vacation from Reading This Summer blog -reading vintage

Its officially summer, the summer solstice.

But technically what does that mean? The summer solstice, also known as the estival solstice or midsummer, occurs when one of the Earth's poles is at its most tilted toward the Sun. It occurs twice a year, once in each hemisphere. The summer solstice occurs when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky and is the day with the longest period of daylight in that hemisphere.

Is it good for adults and children to read over the summer?

Of course, summer reading is essential for adults because it allows you to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. This is perfect if you are at a time when you planning a summer break in the sun.

Reading, broadens your horizons. The possibilities are limitless once your mind is open.  Additionally, reading improves your writing.Reading a variety of books helps in putting those sentences together as well as your speech. What you write is what you say."

It's also critical to encourage your kids to complete their summer reading assignments by reading alongside you as an accountability partner.
Finally, reading has several life-changing rewards, such as learning new things and stress reduction. In addition, you will be improving your writing skills, developing compassion, and much more.

Check out summer reading programs for adults 

A summer reading programs for adults benefit readers of all ages. Begin by signing up for an adult summer reading challenge. This way, you can make a book list that gets you excited about seasonal reading, keep track of your progress, and make it easier to achieve your goals.

Next, you can make Summer reading more enjoyable by reading outside while sipping a cold beverage and playing music. You could also watch a book adaptation and host book club events with your family members and friends.

Are you a parent of young children?

Change the books you're reading. Most parents with young children can no longer sit and read for extended periods. Rather than attempting to read something that requires long periods of focused attention, consider reading something easier to dip in and out of.
When you only have 15 minutes, you might be more willing to pick up a more commercial read, a collection of poetry or short stories, or a magazine.

Do you have school-age children?

Set aside time for quiet family reading. This might be easier for parents who have slightly older children who can read independently. Yes, life is busy but try thinking about how to do this in your house, even if it's is only for 15 minutes a day.

Whether weekly or daily, you can schedule a time when everyone sits down with their own books and reads. This is an excellent way to teach your children to read. I would recommend that parents read a physical book or magazine during this time if only to show their children that it is a book.

Always bring a book along with you.

Always carry a book. This can be a physical or digital novel. Consider how often you are caught waiting during the day: in the carpool lane, at McDonald's, while your children play, or at the doctor's office. Even five minutes here and there add up over time.

Summer Reading is a Blast!

Finally, reading has several life-changing rewards, such as learning new things and stress reduction. In addition, you will be improving your writing skills, developing compassion, and much more.
Get ready for summer by adding some fun, fast good reads to take to the beach, pool, or your pack in your carry on for your summer vacation. You will be glad you did.

Happy reading,
