June Summer Reading

Image Source

Reading is something that happens year round at my house. Even in the summer, kids are expected to pick up a book and read for at least 20 minutes a day. Beyond that, you will often find my kids reading to learn about things they are interested in, reading for pleasure, and listening to audio books. Every evening the kids go to bed at 8pm, but have an hour with book lights to read or draw if they wish. They read a lot, and reread favorites regularly. I decided to jot down the books being read during the month of June by the kids. This time I'm including the picture books and library books we read. I know I've missed a bunch of those because the boys take up a basket of books each evening. The list does not include my own personal reading.
