Let’s Build a Summer Reading List
School is almost out and while most kids would like to forget all about school, mine can’t wait to start pouring through their favorite books. The school gives them a list of recommended reading, but that just doesn’t hold them over.
Let’s start a group writing project! Help me create the ultimate summer reading list for kids ages 8-18. Either leave me a comment or write your own post and leave me the link in the comments and I’ll get it on the main list. If everyone shares 3-5 of their children’s favorite books, we can ensure our kids always have something good to read this summer.
With each book recommendation include the title, author, category and age group of the interested reader. If you want to include a short summary, too, that is even better.
Here are some of our favorites:
1. Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
2. Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-6)
3. Baseball Boxed Set
Don’t forget to add your favorites here – or send me a link to your post!
I LOVE books. I wish I still had time to read. Great idea Char, my list is here.
Char,
Super idea! Here’s my list, geared toward older teen girls. (And their moms.)
These are old books, but the Besty and Tacy series!
My child loves them so much!
I just found this site, and I’m glad I did! Great idea! I’m always looking for stuff for my daughter to read. I’m not sure how to put a link in the body of the comment, but I linked my list to my name.
Lynnae – thanks for contributing to the list – I will be posting an update later this week.
This is one of those fun and educational ideas that I love! You’ll find some of my daughter’s favorites listed over at Parenting Teens!
Some other really good books geared more towards girls but gould work for bays are Maximum Ride by James Patterson and Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
I posted all the books the’ve been reading this month. Here’s the link
Thanks!
Joanne – thanks for sharing your list with us! It looks great. I am going to print it out for my daughter – she is bored with what she has right now.
