Fill summer days with books

How do you keep kids flexing their academic skills during the summer months? How do you keep their minds active? Reading, of course! There are many options for kids and parents who want to fill their summer with stories.

Super WHY! is a PBS Kids series designed to help young children preparing for kindergarten learn the very important pre-literacy skills they need to succeed in school. The series helps kids develop concepts and skills that include alphabet skills, word families, spelling, comprehension and vocabulary. In each episode, young viewers are invited to join in and help solve problems using their language arts skills. To help extend and enrich the reading experience for kids, Super WHY! is helping parents encourage their kids to read and be read to with the Super WHY! Right On Read-a-thon. Downloadable resources including a reading list, progress chart, bookmark and a Super Duper Reading Certificate are available online.

The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is bringing great books and fun programs to your neighborhood branch with the Creature Feature. This year’s summer reading program includes games, programs and prizes for kids, teens and adults. Watch their video invitation to get involved.
