Summer is the perfect time to encourage a child’s imagination! Pairing books for them to read with summer fun activities is a great way to get them reading. For example, buy some sidewalk chalk and the book “A Piece of Chalk” so they can read about a little girl creating a drawing and then make one outside. Perfect for summer in Kawartha Lakes is “Beach Day” by Karen Roosa. “If you are staying closer to home and visiting a lake, compare the animals and activities in this book to the experience at the lake.”
Pieces of chalk and a driveway, a cardboard box in the grass, flour and sugar in the kitchen, or a stick on a sandy beach — children only need common, everyday items, a long summer day, and your encouragement to have fun.
