Summer! Our favorite season of the year is here. It brings joy, happiness, positivity, and fun. Summers are all about sunscreens, building sandcastles, long walks on the beach, and of course — summer reading. With the ongoing pandemic of the novel coronavirus, this summer, all of us are stuck at home. Far away from summer gatherings with friends and family, it may also be considered as a blessing in disguise with a chance to spend more time with your family and children. Is there anything better than getting engrossed in to a good book while staying at home?

Children who read throughout the summer improve their reading skills and gain a better understanding of languages and the world around them. They must hold on to all the reading progress they have made throughout the year and keep the summer learning slide at bay.

If you have been searching for fun and educational reads, then have a look at our suggested books to read this summer with your children!
