Adventure Books for Summer Reading

Pirate ReadingEmbrace summer’s care free, have-fun atmosphere with some great reads.  Remember, summer learning is extra fun because it’s less structured than traditional, structured learning. Books (e-books or print) offer an inexpensive escape to far off places, times past, or to fantastical worlds.

Don’t forget to let your young readers have a say in selecting their books.  A bit of autonomy goes a long way toward enjoying the learning experience.  Younger readers may enjoy reading their books aloud to the family in the evenings and is a fun alternative to watching TV.

Reading well-written books can build vocabulary, geography, historic, science knowledge and more.  Here are a few lists to get you started.  If you have a great list of your own, please share it in a comments post.
