Summer Learning Fun - Reading Ideas
Ideas to keep the kids busy and learning during the summer. 

Taking a break from homeschooling? ...that doesn't mean the learning has to stop!

Summer is a good time for reading. There are lots of reading programs available for the kids during the summer. A good place to check is your local library. I have my kids keep a book in the car for reading while running errands. We always take along a good supply of books when traveling.
