Books – Constant Friends, Patient Teachers

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~ Charles W. Eliot

As far as we’re concerned, June 1st means summer is here! Some schools have already closed their doors, others are a week or more away from doing the same. It’s been a busy year for ReaderKidZ and we, too, plan to enjoy the summer as it unfolds in our own corners of the world. We’ll be taking a break from regular posts to enjoy some quiet time away from the school year routines. But you can be sure we’ll be reading lots and making plans for our second year of ReaderKidZ!

We’ve included a few links we think readers will enjoy. The first two are books recommended by one of our favorite resources for all things kid lit – the Hornbook.

Finally, for those families interested in tracking summer reading, this site, created and maintained by a mom interested in encouraging her boys to read more, may be of interest to some of our readers. Check it out and see if it’s something you might enjoy using this summer!
