Summer can be a great time for children to relax and enjoy the sunshine, but it’s important for them to continue reading during their break. Unfortunately, there may be several reasons why your child won’t read enough this summer:

1. Screen time is more appealing.
2. There aren’t enough books in the house.
3. Reading feels like homework.
4. It’s hard to find books that interest them.
5. They don’t have a designated time to read.
6. They struggle with reading and find it frustrating.
7. They’re too busy with other activities.
8. They don’t see adults reading regularly.
9. They’re more interested in other hobbies.
10. They simply don’t value reading.

As a parent, it’s important to address these issues and find ways to encourage your child to read. Consider setting aside designated reading time each day, taking them to the library to find books that interest them or finding ways to incorporate reading into their other hobbies. By making reading a priority, you can instill a lifelong love of learning in your child.
