Making Reading Fun During Summer Holidays
Reading is a passion of mine, which I got from my grandparents. I spent many summer holidays with them and observed them reading newspapers and books daily. My Grampa read the newspaper because he firmly believed in blue chip stock and read the business section. My Gramma read the newspaper because she kept current on the news and then enjoyed where books would take her in her imagination.
Seeing them read, I also took up reading. From a young age, I would borrow books such as biographies or history at my local or school library. I spent summers lazing on a lawn chair, imagining the characters in the book I was reading at the time.
I continued this passion with my children. From when they were infants, I bought the appropriate book to begin their journey of learning letters and their sounds, words, and then sentences. They are all still readers and encourage their children to read.
Because I love reading and know parents are exhausted by the end of the day, I volunteered at two of our town’s schools this past school year to help students with their reading. At one school, I helped a student in grade 6; at the other, I helped students in grades one and two.
It was my first time doing such a thing. I did it because reading is a passion of mine, and I know the importance of reading and the freedom it provides. By the end of the school year, the teachers and I were astonished at the improvement in most students—some more than others. I know it wasn’t all me because it takes a village to raise a child. But it did prove the importance of one-on-one time.
What I noticed most in the students was their insecurity about reading an unfamiliar word. Through encouragement and support, the students took more chances to try to read the words, which is when I saw the most improvement. Because of the number of students and my time, I couldn’t get to them all regularly, but even the ten to fifteen minutes every two or three weeks was a help.
Reading is a magical gateway to adventure, knowledge, and endless imagination. For our children, it's a skill and a lifelong gift. As parents, we have a vital role in cultivating a love for reading. Let's dive into the benefits of reading to your kids, how to help your child read, how to get your son to read, and summer fun reading tips.
