Enjoy your summer, remember to stay active mentally and physically!

You are to continue reading through the summer months-it is UP to you to figure out what you would like to read.

Remember VOLUME is everything, the more you read, the better reader and writer you will become in the long run.

You should read as MANY books as you can this summer…set a goal for yourself!

Try…

-Reading about someone or something (topic or a cause) that inspires you

-Reading about a job/hobby/sport that you find intriguing

-Reading books that you enjoyed by the same author

-Type a book you loved in Amazon and see what else they recommend based on your love of that book

-ASK your friends…they are the best reviewers of books

-ASK your parents what they read at your age

-ASK the children’s librarian at your local library, below are some links to your public libraries

NOTE: You can also find digital books on our local library system (Ramapo Catskills Library System)

Note: You don’t even need your library card.
