To help motivate kids to keep reading during summer, don’t forget about our free printable Summer Reading Scratch-Off Chart! The kids will be so excited to finish those books and discover their special reward.

 I have put together this Summer Reading List: Picture Books edition to share with you some of the books that I have read and that I have noticed kids love! Getting kids to love to learn and love to read can be a struggle. These books are great choices to instill an appreciation for reading!

Scholastic Kids Weird but True books are a favorite right now. These books I put in the picture book category but they are fun for any age. They are filled with such interesting facts. And what I love most about them is that they encourage reading and learning in kids! There are lots of choices to choose from, check them out!

Chrysanthemum

Kevin Henkes is a great author who address the early social issues and fears of little kids. Chrysanthemum is a little mouse who is embarrassed by her name but in the end learns to love her name. This is a great book that teaches little kids how to be nice to their friends.
